/ 1 / IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1980 OF 2001 Union of India ...Petitioner V/s. Shri Mukhtyar Singh Jaswant Singh ...Respondent Mr.Suresh Kumar for Petitioner. CORAM : SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & V.M. KANADE, J. DATED : 4TH JUNE, 2008. P.C. :- 1. Challenge in this Writ Petition is to the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal dated 2nd May, 2001. Following direction was issued in the concluding part of impugned order. “The Applicant Shri Mukhtyar Singh shall be considered for promotion as if considered at the 1992 selection – after the stage of written test ( since he cleared such a test then.) If he is found fit, he will be provided seniority / 2 / as per 1992 selection with all consequential benefits including arrears, since O.A. was filed in January, 1993. We are, however, not making any orders for changing the promotions already granted to others selected in the panel, so that there is no unsettling of the settled position and to avoid administrative complications at this point of time. No order as to cost.” 2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner contends that candidate in question had passed written test but failed in interview/viva-voce. In the light of judgment of the Central Administrative Tribunal, direction given is that concerned authority shall consider case of the Petitioner and if he is found to be fit then promotion will be given with effect from 1992. If for whatever reason, he was not found to be fit, Petitioner herein was at liberty to pass appropriate order and inform the Petitioner of that order. Needless to notice that direction issued by the Central Administrative Tribunal in the impugned judgment is clearly a direction for consideration and not for granting promotion actually. With this direction, we do not see any reason to interfere in the / 3 / impugned order. Writ Petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. CHIEF JUSTICE V.M. KANADE, J.
