The case of the petitioner is that he has retired as Special Sub Inspector. He completed his last service as such in Kanyakumari District under the control of the fifth respondent. His date of appointment was on 17.02.1972. He had been transfer from Kanyakumari District Armed Reserve Police in the year 1981 to the Kanyakumari District Local Police. After transfer from Armed Reserve Police, he has been promoted as Grade I PC on 12.08.1985. However, his promotion as Head Constable and Special Sub Inspector of Police was delayed. The petitioner, therefore, sent a representation to consider his case for promotion at the appropriate time by stating several G.Os. However, the same has not been considered, which made the petitioner to approach this Court by filing the present Writ Petition. 5.
