CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Vikas Chatrath, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Learned counsel contends that by way of a consent order, dated 19.2.2002 passed in Civil Writ Petition No.1705 of 1999, the matter was disposed of giving liberty to the Department to take decision in view of judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India rendered in Saroj Rani vs. State of Punjab, 1999(4) SCT 80. Learned counsel has pointed out that vide Order, Annexure P-12, a decision was taken on 17.6.2002 in the following terms:- “Sh. Yash Pal Singh, Jr. Asstt. has been adjusted in the Central Store of the Head Office. The correspondence is going on with the Govt. for sanction of posts of the Central Store. The Divisional Offices have been rendered CWP No.19411 of 2009 [2] defunct. So there is no occasion to make promotions against vacancies of defunct divisions. Thus at this stage it is not possible to consider promotions of Senior Asstt., on receipt of sanction of post of Central Store this employee will be considered for promotion on the basis his seniority/ merit along with other employees.” The petitioner, however, is not being promoted. Learned counsel wants to withdraw the petition with liberty to specifically plead and place on record the document to indicate, that the post of Senior Assistant in Central Store has been sanctioned. Dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for. (AJAI LAMBA) December 16, 2009 JUDGE avin
