LPA No. 47 of 2008 :1: In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. LPA No. 47 of 2008 Date of Decision: 15.04.2009 State of Haryana and another ....Appellants. Versus S.C. Rana ....Respondent. Coram:- Hon'ble Mr.Justice J.S. Khehar Hon'ble Mr. Justice Uma Nath Singh Present: Mr. Surinder K. Bishnoi, DAG, Haryana for the appellant. ... J.S. Khehar, J. (Oral). Respondent No.1 – S.C. Rana has been duly served. He is neither present in court in person nor represented through counsel. He is, accordingly, proceeded against ex-parte. LPA No. 47 of 2008 :2: The solitary contention of the learned counsel for the appellant, while assailing the order passed by the learned Single Judge, dated 15.11.2007 rendered in Civil Writ Petition No.3136 of 1987, is that respondent No.1 – S.C. Rana had sought promotion to the post of General Manager with effect from the date his junior S.C. Goyal had been promoted as such. This relief, according to the learned counsel for the appellant, was allowed to respondent No.1 – S.C. Rana by the impugned order dated 15.11.2007. This aspect of the matter, according to the learned counsel for the appellant, is not subject matter of challenge at the hands of the appellant. The solitary claim of the appellant before us is, that the order of promotion of S.C. Goyal to the post of General Manager should not have been set aside, in as much as, the relief sought by the petitioner to the post of General Manager with effect from the date of promotion of S.C. Goyal, was allowed to respondent No.1 – S.C. Rana by the impugned order dated 15.11.2007. It was, thereafter, only for the appellant to decide whether to sustain the order passed in favour of S.C. Goyal for his promotion to the post of General Manager or to revoke it. Having considered the totality of the facts and circumstances of this case, we are satisfied that it was superfluous for this court while disposing of Civil Writ Petition No.3136 of 1987, to set aside the order of promotion of S.C. Goyal as General Manager, dated 2.1.1987 (Annexure P- 5). We, accordingly, modify the order dated 15.11.2007 rendered in Civil Writ Petition No.3136 of 1987, inasmuch as, the order dated 2.1.1987 (Annexure P-5) shall not be deemed to have been set aside. Disposed of accordingly. LPA No. 47 of 2008 :3: ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge (Uma Nath Singh) Judge. 15.04.2009 sk.
