Vinay Kumar Verma v. the State of Jharkhand
Case brief
What is this about?
Jharkhand High Court L.P.A. No. 152 of 2024, Vinay Kumar Verma v. State of Jharkhand & others (decided 09.07.2025); challenge to promotion of respondent Rajan Kumar from Grade-IV to Grade-III by order no. 06/2011 dated 10.03.2011 of District & Sessions Judge-cum-Chairman, Appointment Committee, Garhwa Civil Court; objection that graduation degree (2001) was not entered in service book rejected; Single Judge judgment dated 18.01.2024 in W.P.(S) No. 2795 of 2011 upheld; appeal dismissed as devoid of merit.
What did the court decide?
The contention that respondent no. 3's promotion was illegal because his graduation qualification was not noted in the service book is untenable, since the other respondents themselves accepted that he secured the graduation degree in 2001, well before joining service on 07.08.2002; accordingly the appeal lacks merit and is dismissed.
