Rajeev Kumar vs State Of U.P. And Others on 23 February, 2026

1. The petitioner claims to have been promoted as a Clerk in the employ of the Nagar Panchayat Khutar, District Shahjahanpur (for short, ‘the Nagar Panchayat’) from the lower post of a Class-IV employee. The petitioner says that though promoted by the President of the Nagar Panchayat vide order dated 01.05.2018, he has not been paid his emoluments for the promotion post. Instead, he is being remunerated as a Class-IV employee. It is asserted that pursuant to the promotion order dated 01.05.2018, the petitioner has joined the promotion post and is discharging duties attached to the post. The petitioner, therefore, prays that a mandamus be issued, ordering the Nagar Panchayat and its President, to extend benefits of the promotion post, including all remuneration w.e.f. 01.05.2018. He has also prayed for the issue of a mandamus to the respondents to pay him a Clerk’s salary from the date of his promotion together with interest.
