CWP (T) No. 2743 of 2008. 20.3.2009 Present: Mr. Lalit Kumar Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Addl. A.G. and Mr. Vikas Rathore, Dy.A.G. for respondents No. 1 & 2. Mr. Dilip Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.3. The petitioner has assailed the promotion of respondent No.3 to the post of Deputy Director. The Departmental Promotion Committee under the Chairmanship of the Chairman of H.P. Public Service Commission met on 29.8.1995. It is not in dispute that the post of Deputy Director is a selection post and required to be filled on the basis of merit-cum-seniority. The petitioner ranked “Good” and respondent No.3 was found as “Outstanding”. In view of the provisions of Chapter XVI (B) II, procedure for assessing overall classification of Recruitment, Promotion and other Service Matters, Volume-I for Selection Posts, the Officer/official assessed as “Outstanding” will supersede the officers assessed as “Very Good”. In the present case, the petitioner has been assessed as “Good” and has rightly not been found suitable for the post of Deputy Director. The petitioner only has right to be considered for promotion. He has been considered and not found suitable by the Departmental Promotion Committee. Accordingly, there is no merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. March 20, 2009. (cr)
