For the Appellant/s : Mr. Shashi Bhushan Kumar, Advocate For the Respondent/s : Mr. Shashi Shekhar Tiwari, AC to AAG 13 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. B. BAJANTHRI and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIV ROY ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. B. BAJANTHRI) Date : 01-08-2022 Heard learned counsels for the parties.
2. In the instant appeal, appellant has questioned the validity of the order dated 03.08.2018 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 1205 of 2015. The appellant in writ petition has prayed for the following relief/reliefs:
Patna High Court L.P.A No.1581 of 2018 dt.01-08-2022 2/3 "I. To direct the respondent authority excluded the name of the which candidates their name included in the promotion list of the B.A. trained scale prepared by the Respondent No. 5 on the basis of who obtained the one year training during service period after enforcement of NCTE Act and who has not fulfilled the criteria of promotion on the post of B.A. Trained Teacher as per concerned rule. As per NCTE Act one year teacher training service is not valid teacher training. II. To further direct to the respondent authority declared the seniority on the basis of concerned Act by which an untrained teacher may be given Grade 1 from the date of which he becomes trained."
3. Prima facie the contention of the appellant is that he is a trained teacher whereas 9th respondent is not a trained teacher. In that event, having regard to various documents relating to extending of pay scale and other things, the appellant should have been placed over and above 9th respondent in the proposed promotion list vide Annexure - 9 to the writ petition.
4. Perusal of the Annexure - 9 read with first prayer in the writ petition, the appellant has not arrayed such of those persons whose rights are likely to be affected in the event of allowing the writ petition. He has impleaded only 9 th respondent. Annexure - 9 is only an administrative order. Such order is based on the final seniority list of the feeder cadre namely Graduate Teachers. In the Graduate Teachers final seniority list, 9th respondent has been placed over and above the appellant. Further, it is noticed that the appellant had cause of action on 05.09.1999, the date on which 9 th Patna High Court L.P.A No.1581 of 2018 dt.01-08-2022 3/3 respondent has been extended certain benefits of pay scale whereas similar benefits have been extended to the appellant in the month of December, 1999. The appellant has not questioned validity of the extending certain service benefits to the 9 th respondent as on 01.10.2003 which has been given effect from 05.09.1999.
5. Moreover, as long as ranking assigned in the final seniority list of the feeder cadre is not challenged by the appellant, he is not entitled to challenge administrative decision relating to proposed promotion list. Such a proposed promotional list is based on the final gradation list or existing gradation list of Graduate Teachers as on 25.11.2014 in which appellant has been shown below the 9th respondent. In the light of these facts and circumstances, appellant has not made out a case.
6. Accordingly, L.P.A. stands dismissed.
