Sud, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner belongs to SC category. He claims to have passed the departmental test for promotion to the post of Road Inspector. The petitioner claims promotion at roaster point 4 and 8 reserved for SC candidates as per the reservation policy. The petitioner earlier filed CWP No.2377 of 2006, which was allowed holding that the petitioner is entitled to promotion against roaster point. The order of the Court was not being complied with. Then the petitioner filed a contempt petition. The petitioner was promoted as a Road Inspector w.e.f. 19/20.1.2009. But he would still claim promotion w.e.f 15.3.2005, i.e. the date when the post meant for SC at roaster point fell vacant. The petitioner has already been promoted . Now there is only question of adjusting the promotion from some date, on which the vacancy fell vacant. The sole contention is that the petitioner is entitled to promotion w.e.f. Civil Writ Petition No.2320 of 2011 -2- 15.3.2005 in view of law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in R.K. Sabharwal & others Versus State of Punjab and others, AIR 1995 SC 1371. Since the petitioner has approached this Court on more than one occasion, it will be appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner in the light of the policy instructions and law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and so also the orders passed by this Court in earlier writ petition. If the petitioner is entitled to promotion w.e.f. 15.3.2005, the same may also be considered in accordance with law. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
