O R D E R Original Application No.9766 of 1998 was filed before the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal, Madras Bench praying to call for records from the respondents 1 and 2 in the proceedings No.Nil dated 9.11.1998 and quash the selection in respect of respondents 3 to 5 and direct the respondents 1 and 2 to appoint the applicant for the post of Sub Inspector. Since the Tamil Nadu Administrative Tribunal was abolished, the O.A. was received by transfer and numbered as Writ Petition. 2. The applicant/petitioner, was originally appointed as police constable in the Tamil Nadu Police Department and promoted as Head Constable. He appeared in the Range Promotion Board Test for drawal of Head Constable 'C' list fit for the post of Sub Inspector of Police in the year 1998. It is not disputed that the petitioner/applicant passed the written test, viiva-voce test and drill test. However, his name did not find place in the final 'C' list for promotion to the post for Sub Inspector of Police. Therefore, he filed O.A. stating that his juniors have been promoted whereas his case was not considered even though he passed all the requisite test. 3. Reply affidavit has been filed by the respondents refuting the claim of the petitioner, in particular, it has been clearly stated in para 9 as follows:- "9. The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Vellore Range in his proceedings Rc.No.21336/A2/98, (R.O.698/98) dated 10.11.98 had published the inclusion of 34 HCs (Local) in the 'C' list of HCs fit for promotion as SIs (Local) for this Range. Though the name of the applicant who was placed in the Sl.No.103 according to the marks obtained by him was not included in the 'C' list as he had not come within the first 34 Ranks." 4. The vacancy for promotional quota allotted to Vellore Range was only 34 and therefore, the first 34 rankers were included in the 'C' list. This apparently is the reason for non-inclusion of https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ the name of the applicant in the 'C' list and the applicant cannot have any grievance on that score. For the above said reasons, this Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. Sd/ Asst.Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.Registrar ts To 1. Dy. Inspector General of Police, Vellore Range, Vellore. 2.
