HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** CWP No.7839 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: 24.02.2011 **** Baldev Singh . . . . Petitioner VS. State of Punjab & Ors. . . . . Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT **** Present: None for the petitioner ***** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 04.01.2010 (Annexure P12) whereby his claim for promotion from the post of Accountant to that of Superintendent Gr-II has been rejected on the premise that there is no such provision for promotion under the statutory Service Rules. The petitioner is also aggrieved by the transfer of respondent No.4 from Panchayat Samiti, Chamkaur Sahib to Zila Parishad, Rupnagar allegedly in violation of the Service Rules. (2). After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner at some length on 13.01.2011 the matter was adjourned to enable him to place on record the copy of the Rules/Circular, if any, in terms whereof an Accountant is eligibile/entitled for promotion to the post of Superintendent Gr-II. Though no such Rule/Circular has been brought on record, nevertheless CWP No.7839 of 2010.doc - 2 – the petitioner would always be entitled to re-agitate his claim for promotion as Superintendent Gr-II before the competent authority if there is any such Rule/Policy/Executive Instructions for which he would be at liberty to bring to the notice of the competent authority. Similarly, the interference in the posting of respondent No.4 in Zila Parishad would be called for only if the authorities accept the petitioner’s claim for promotion to the post of Superintendent Gr-II as respondent No.4 is already holding the post of Superintendent and has been transferred to the Zila Parishad in that capacity only. (3). The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty aforementioned. (4). Dasti . 24.02.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge
