BADRI PRASAD MATHUR Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) INSTANT writ petition has been filed for seeking direction to respondents to grant selection grade to the petitioner with effect from 1. 8. 1991 and further consequential benefits.

(2.) PETITIONER claims that he was appointed on temporary basis as `borer' in the grade Rs. 75-160 with the respondent on 1. 8. 1964 and he was promoted as Blaster vide order dated 10. 08. 1966. He was again promoted as Blasting Supervisor with effect from 1. 11. 1977. PETITIONER claims that he has been denied benefits of selection grade after completion of 9, 18 and 27 years of service.

(3.) I found learned counsel for parties to have adopted a strange attitude as neither of them was able to lay down any factual foundation nor they were seeking adjournment and thus, I found it difficult to proceed with the matter. I am of the considered opinion that if factual foundation has not been laid down and there are no proper pleadings, there is no occasion for the Court to entertain the writ petition as, every party is an obligation to plead its case properly and substantiate the pleadings by filing sufficient evidence in support thereto.
