¶23

¶24

(i) For issuance of an appropriate writ in the nature of Mandamus, Commanding and directing the respondent authorities to grant promotion to class-III post in view of result published by the University on 24.11.2015, since out of 18 candidates posted at Head quarter and Post Graduate departments, 10 candidates are junior to the petitioner, moreover 148 posts are still vacant in Head quarter and post graduate departments under L.N. Mithila university, Darbhanga and further a direction to grant consequential benefit from the date sto the petitioner have been promoted.

the University to the satisfaction of his higher authority. Hence, he is entitled to be promoted on Class-III post and all the monetary benefits of the said posts be paid to him.
