Irrespective of the question raised, fact remains that petitioner is only a Circle Inspector of Police and he cannot be said to be affected by the said order. However, learned counsel for the petitioner contended that, petitioner's chances of getting posted to the post to which the 4th respondent is now posted, is likely to be affected, as and when the petitioner gets promotion to the post of Assistant Commissioner. 3. In my view, even such a grievance can arise only after the petitioner is promoted and posted to the category of Assistant Commissioner or equivalent category. As at present, petitioner can have no grievance. Therefore, there is no locus standi for the petitioner nor can he be said to be an aggrieved person to challenge the impugned order. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
