IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.19677 of 2006 Deepak Kishore & others Vs. The State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.John Kumar, Advocate, for Mr.Vikram Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Harish Rathee, Sr.DAG, Haryana, for the State. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. Counsel for the petitioners refers to para 6 of the preliminary submission made in the reply filed to point out that petitioner No.1 Deepak Kishore has already been promoted as Deputy Superintendent on 28.12.2006 on the basis of State level seniority/ranking. It is further pointed out that he had not joined the new place of posting till date and has not acknowledged the said promotion. It is accordingly stated that he would not have any right to seek direction of promotion w.e.f. 1.12.1982. The counsel for the petitioner says that petitioner No.1 is willing to join on the post for which he was promoted in the year 2006. Let him approach the respondents by filing a representation in this regard, which shall be considered sympathetically in accordance with law. So far as the claim of remaining petitioners is concerned, the same cannot appropriately be considered as they are no more in service having retired in 2004 and 2000 respectively and have filed this writ petition after 2/6 years of their retirement. To seek promotion at this belated stage w.e.f. 1982 apparently would not be justified. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. October 28, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
