Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908)---
----Ss. 114 & 151---Review---Civil service---Controversy between parties was disposed of by High Court in its earlier order saying that petitioner civil servant's case for his further promotion would be considered by the respondent authority in the light of case of promotion of specified doctors----Petitioner's counsel's statement at that time was that case of petitioner civil servant was at par with those of aforesaid doctors---Stress in review application was that case of petitioner stood at a higher footing than those of the said doctors because of his foreign degree while those doctors were diploma holders---Petitioner claimed to have a vested right under the law to be considered by the respondent for his further promotion---Petitioner's counsel stressed that no concession whatsoever was given to petitioner by Government Law Officer when the earlier order was passed---Law Officer had stated in Court that he did not make the statement that Secretary Health was ready to consider petitioner's case for his further promotion---Court found by reference to record that no concession whatever, was given by Government Law Officer to the petitioner in that behalf---Statement attributed to Law Officer regarding concession thus was of no significance---Government Law Officer had also sworn affidavit that he had made no such statement---Government Law Officer having given no concession to petitioner, his case pertaining to promotion had to be considered on its own merits according to law---Petitioner's case was thus, directed to be considered by the authority in accordance with law and disposed of within specified period.
