1 I N THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR WRIT PETITION No. 643 OF 2008 Pundlik Govinda Shambharkar v. Secry. Ministry of Rlys. & ors. _______________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders Mr.D.B.Wathore Advocate for the Petitioner. .... CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & A.B. CHAUDHARI, J. DATED : 21st FEBRUARY, 2008. Taking exception to the order dated 27.10.2004 made by the Central Administrative Tribunal, the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the order does not take into account the relevant rules and, in fact, no reasoning has been recorded. This argument is without any merit. The Central Administrative Tribunal has written reasonably lengthy order while giving reasons for rejecting claim of the petitioner. 2. The petitioner was promoted as 2 Senior Goods Driver with effect from 20.1.1997 as a result of review DPC in furtherance of the earlier order passed by the Tribunal. He retired from service as Senior Goods Driver with effect from 23.3.2000. The petitioner was not entitled for any further promotion for the reason that he had not been subjected to any process of selection and with reference to para 305 of IREM. The Tribunal recorded a finding that the petitioner had taken voluntary retirement, was not subjected to any process of selection and was ad hoc promotee. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner further relied upon para 216 of IREN and contended that the date of notional promotion should be granted to him from the date of his appointment. This itself would not be of much help to the petitioner, inasmuch as the Rule provides that ad hoc promotions should be avoided as far as possible. We 3 further see that merely because the petitioner had worked for a little longer period in that post that would not help him to claim promotion. We see no error in the order of the Tribunal. Writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. CHIEF JUSTICE JUDGE /TA/
