IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. (SS) 343 of 2011 Kamleshwar Prasad Kotnala …Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand and others .Respondents Present :Mr. D. S. Patni, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. N. P. Sah, Standing Counsel present for the State of Uttarakhand. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) Heard Mr. D. S. Patni, Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. N. P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. The petitioner was a lecturer. He was promoted to the post of Principal vide order dated 26.6.2010, which was subsequently recalled, as the petitioner has wrongly been promoted as the candidate who was liable to be promoted as Principal was another person of same name, i.e. Kamleshwar Prasad. Consequently, the impugned order dated 26.3.2011 was passed cancelling the earlier order dated 26.6.2010. There seems no anomaly in the said impugned order. The writ petition is devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed. However, at this stage, the counsel for the petitioner contends that he is one of the senior lecturers in the State of Uttarakhand in Hindi. He further contends that he may be considered for the vacant post of Principal in case such promotions are to be made under the law for the post of Principal. It is therefore directed that in future the petitioner will also be considered for promotion in case he falls under the zone of consideration for such a post. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 20.10.2011 Kuldeep
