BHELDI DISTRICT SARAN AT PRESENT POSTED AS A.S.I. LAHERIASARAI P.S. DARBHANGA. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar THROUGH SECRETARY HOME DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 2. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF HOME, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, DARBHANGA RANGE, DARBHANGA. 4. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, DARBHANGA. ---------------------------------- 2 19/09/2011 Petitioner was granted promotion by the Central Selection Board in terms of the decision relating to Darbhanga Range vide notification dated 7.1.2006. Petitioner’s name figures at serial no. 56. This order was communicated to one and all for the follow up action. However, benefit of actual promotion did not accrue to the petitioner because a departmental proceeding was pending against him which was departmental proceeding no. 38 of 2005. The stand of the petitioner is that he now stands exonerated in the said departmental enquiry by virtue of District Police Order No. 846 of 2007. Despite such a decision and issuance of the District Police Order, the - 2 - petitioner is going without promotion as there is nothing pending against him. Let the petitioner move the Superintendent of Police, Darbhanga with a fresh application enclosing the order of the District Police No. 846 of 2007 along with a copy of notification by virtue of which he has been given the benefit of promotion and if there is no legal impediment, appropriate notification would be issued in favour of the petitioner granting him the benefit of promotion to the post of Sub Inspector of Police in light of annexure-1. This must be done within a period of three months from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order. If there is any other legal impediment, reason thereof must also be communicated to the petitioner within the same time frame. This writ application stands disposed of with the direction aforesaid.
