State of Haryana & others. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURDEV SINGH Present:- Mr. Jagbir Malik, Advocate for the appellant. --- ORDER: 1. This appeal has been preferred against judgment of learned Single Judge, dismissing the writ petition for a direction to give out of turn promotion to the appellant for of his act of bravery. 2. Case of the appellant is that he was enrolled in police service on 16.3.1977 and was promoted as Head Constable on 4.3.1989. He was then sent on deputation to C.I.D. where he was given promotion as ASI. On being repatriated to his parent department, he was against posted as Head Constable. He filed a writ petition, claiming right to promotion and also seeking LPA No.1408 of 2009 decision on his pending representation. Direction to decide his representation was given, which was rejected after due consideration. Thereafter, he filed writ petition, giving rise to the impugned order. 3. Learned Single Judge held that promotion in the C.I.D. was on adhoc basis. His turn for promotion had not come in the parent department. In absence of any right, no direction for grant of promotion could be issued. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 5. It has not been disputed that there is no right of promotion on the basis of alleged act of bravery alone and on merits, the appellant had not acquired any right to promotion. No person junior to him had been given promotion. On his turn, he has been given promotion in the year 2001. 6. We, thus, do not find any ground to interfere with the view taken by the learned Single Judge. 7. The appeal is dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) JUDGE December 16, 2009 ( GURDEV SINGH ) ashwani JUDGE 2
