2.3.2009 Present: Mr. Y. Paul, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A. G. with Mr. Vivek Thakur, Addl. A. G. and Mr. Anil Jaswal, Dy. A.G. for the respondents. CWP(T) No.3110/2008 (OA No.600/96) The petitioner had joined Govt. Higher Secondary School, Kalbog, Distt. Shimla, H.P. on 29.4.1965 as National Discipline Scheme Instructor (NDSI). According to him, the post of NDSI was re- designated as P.T.I. when the establishment of NDSI was transferred by the Central Govt. to the State. As such, he is seeking promotion from the post of PTI to the post of D.P.Ed.. The fact that the post of NDSI was re-designated as PTI stands categorically denied by the State in the reply. There is no rejoinder filed to the same. I see no reason to disbelieve the State on this count. Further, the respondents have placed on record the extract of the R&P Rules from which it is clear that the feeder cadre to the post of D.P.Ed. is PTI and not NDSI. In this view of the matter, the petitioner’s prayer cannot be allowed as he is ineligible for promotion to the post of D.P.Ed. (school cadre). Hence, the present petition being devoid of any merit is dismissed as such. ( Sanjay Karol ), Judge. March 2, 2009 (rana)
