CWP(T) No. 2590 of 2008. 09.03.2009 Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Vikas Rathore, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents. The petitioner has sought directions to the respondents to consider his case for promotion to the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police from the feeder category of Inspectors from the date his juniors were promoted, i.e. 13th May, 1994. It has come in the reply filed by respondents/State that the case of the petitioner was duly considered by the Departmental Committee held by the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission. He was not found fit for promotion as Deputy Superintendent of Police. The entire record including the A.C.Rs. was taken into consideration by the H.P. Public Service Commission. It is not in dispute that the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police is a selection post. The same has to be filled-up on the basis of merit. Since the case of the petitioner has been duly considered for promotion on 17th March, 1993 and was not found suitable, there is no merit in the petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. March 09, 2009. (sck)
