The said order was, however, extended till to day. It appears from the contention raised in the writ petition that the writ petitioner has not challenged the selection or claimed promotion to the post of additional director of soil conservation. The applicant by the present applicat ion has contended that he has been considered for the post of additional directo r of soil conservation. Mr. Choudhury, learned counsel for the writ petitioners has fairly submi tted that the petitioners in the writ petition have claimed promotion from the p ost of divisional soil conservation officer to the post of joint director soil c onservation and have challenged such process of selection on various grounds, ap art from the ground of reservation. It appears from the contention raised in WP(C) No. 4099/2009 that the pe titioners claim promotion from the post of divisional soil conservation to the p ost of joint director soil conservation. In view of the above, the interim order and the subsequent order extendi ng the earlier interim order stands modified to the extent that it shall remain operative, until further orders, in so far as the promotion from the post of div isional soil conservation officer to the post of joint director soil conservatio n only and shall not be operative for promotion to the post of addl. director of soil conservation.
