They were sent for their training service. They passed the examination in first attempt in the year2005. As such, in the writ application they claimed matric trained scale w.e.f.

Patna High Court MJC No.1380 of 2016 (3) dt.09-11-2016
2/2
The State of Bihar and others decided by this Court reported in 2010 (4) PLJR 732.
Finding substance in the submission of the petitioners, the respondents were directed to consider the representation of the petitioners in the light of directions of Division Bench contained in Chandra Kanta’s case.
The petitioners submit that they have been given Matric Trained Scale in terms of the decision of the Division Bench. However, they have not been given promotion to the post of Head Master to which they are entitled.
In my view, the grievance of the petitioners of not being made Headmaster cannot be agitated in the contempt application, as there is no such direction in the writ petition.
The contempt proceeding is closed with liberty to the petitioners to take resort for remedy available in law.
