After hearing the arguments of the learned counsel for the parties and perusing the impugned judgment dated 02.04.2008 passed by learned Single Judge in WPSS No. 3369 of 2001, Ramesh Chandra Pathak Vs Principal Chief Conservator of Forest & others, we are convinced that the learned Single Judge was right in dismissing the petition because the petitioner had been considered for promotion and was not found suitable. The appellant has already retired from service on 31.12.2000. 2. We have also taken into consideration the copy of communication dated 19.05.1997, which clearly indicates that several disciplinary proceedings had been pending against the appellant and he was imposed penalties therein. 3. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed in-limine. (B.C. Kandpal, J.) (V.K. Gupta, CJ) 09.06.2008 09.06.2008 ASWAL
