State of Haryana and Ors. as common question of law and fact arises in all these cases. The facts are being taken from CWP No. 20095 of 2010.

(2.) The petitioner has filed this writ petition praying for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to promote him to the post of Assistant with effect from the date his juniors have been so promoted along with all consequential benefits.

(3.) The petitioner was appointed as Accounts Clerk and joined the service on 5.3.1990. He claims to be working on the said post with full honesty, dedication and hard work. In the year 1995, the respondents promoted some junior persons to the post of Assistant. One of the co-worker of the petitioner challenged the promotion granted to said junior persons. On 16.8.2005, this Court disposed of Civil Writ Petition No. 18333 of 2002 and order in this regard is annexed as Annexure P-2. The State filed Special Leave Petition against the same, which has also been dismissed. Accordingly, said petitioner Tilak Raj was promoted. Consequently, other persons, similarly situated, also filed various writ petitions and now the respondents have also started promoting the clerks without insisting on the condition of passing the type test. The petitioner accordingly made a claim for promotion from the date when some of his juniors have been so promoted. Names of the juniors are mentioned in the writ petition. Once no action is being taken, the petitioner has filed this writ petition.
