    Summary of CWJC No. 7250/2025 Court Decision: The Patna High Court partially allowed the writ petition filed by Chandra Kishor Gupta and Rajesh Kumar against the State of Bihar and B.N. Mandal University. Key Holdings: The court quashed the February 13, 2025 order denying approval for their Upper Divisional Clerk appointments, finding it legally unsustainable. The court rejected the government's claim that the UDC post was promotional in nature, noting appointments were made through a court-supervised selection process in 2017. The petitioners are entitled to current and arrear salaries from June 2023 onwards plus 6% simple interest, payable within 8 weeks. However, their claim for retroactive approval from 1992/1995 with notional benefits was rejected since they were engaged as daily-wage workers without sanctioned posts then. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
