1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 2991/1993 Umaid Singh Rathore Vs. State of Raj. & Anr. Date of Order :: 24.03.2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr M. Mridul, Sr. Adv. assisted by Sh. P.S. Chundawat, for the petitioner/s. Mr G.R. Punia, for the respondents. ... By this petition for writ a declaration is sought by the petitioner for his appointment as Ranger Gr.I by way of promotion in the year 1983-84 or against the vacancies of year 1984-85. In alternative, a declaration is also sought by the petitioner for his promotion as Ranger Gr.II as on 9.7.1983 and then as Ranger Gr.I on 9.7.1988. As per the petitioner, the respondents did not determine the vacancies relating to promotion quota and that resulted into denial for appointment to him by way of promotion on the post of Ranger Gr.II as well as Ranger Gr.I. An additional affidavit has been filed by Officer Incharge of the case Sh. Uma Ram Choudhary, Technical Assistant to Conservator of Forest, Drought Prone Area, Jodhpur stating therein that the petitioner was promoted to the post of Deputy Ranger by an order dated 26.10.1978 purely on adhoc basis for a term of four months or till availability of regularly selected incumbent whichever is earlier. The candidature of the petitioner then was considered for promotion as Ranger Gr.II (re- designation of Deputy Ranger) against the vacancies of the year 1984-85 2 but he was not found suitable for such promotion. His candidature was not found suitable for such promotion even against the vacancies of the year 1992-93 and 1993-94. A promotion then was given to the petitioner as Ranger Gr.II against the vacancies of the year 1994-95 under an order dated 17.1.1996 read with order dated 18.1.1996 passed by the Principal Chief Conservator of Forest, Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur. It is also stated in the affidavit aforesaid that the claim of the petitioner to be considered for promotion as Ranger Gr.I is not ripe looking to his placement in the seniority list of Ranger Gr.II declared on 23.4.2004. In view of the factual position narrated above, the issue raised by the petitioner regarding determination of year wise vacancies relating to the post of Deputy Ranger is of no consequence in view of the fact that his candidature was considered and was not found suitable for promotion, as such, no relief as claimed by the petitioner can be given. Accordingly, this petition for writ is having no merit, and therefore, the same is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal '
