(2.) PETITIONER filed this writ petition challenging the notification contained in Memo No. 149 (1) dated 10.9.2003 (Annexure 8) issued by respondent No. 3, complaining that respondent No. 4 being junior to him was posted as Acting Principal of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Jamshedpur (for short 'M.G.M. Medical College, Jamshedpur') ignoring the length of service and seniority of the petitioner; and for a direction to respondents No. 1 to 3 to consider and grant promotion to the petitioner in the higher post of Professor and Principal from the date of eligibility with all consequential benefits. In view of the order I propose to pass, it is not necessary to go into the said dispute/claim raised by the petitioner.
