CWP (T) No. 2739 of 2008 12.3.2009 Present: None 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 the respondents. The petitioner has sought direction to the respondents to consider his case for promotion to the post of Inspector. He was promoted to the post of Sub Inspector in the year 1989. The promotions in the Police Department are governed under the Punjab Police Rules 13.1. The Departmental Promotion Committee met on 22.6.1994 to consider the case of the petitioner and other candidates. The Departmental Promotion Committee recommended for promotion only those Sub Inspectors who secured 22 or more marks in accordance with the criteria laid down under the Punjab Police Rules to reckon the merit. The petitioner had secured only 18.5 marks. Accordingly, his case was not recommended and he was not brought on list ‘F’. In order to consider the case for promotion to the post of Inspector, the seniority of the regular Sub Inspectors is to be taken into consideration by the Departmental Promotion Committee. However, he was not been found suitable as per the criteria of marks. Accordingly, there is no merit in this writ petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. March 12, 2009. (cr)
