WPSS No.1208 of 2010 Hon’ble Nirmal Yadav, J. Sri Chetan Joshi, learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri Dinesh Gehtori, learned Standing Counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents not to hold the Departmental Promotion Exercise till the Sub Committee constituted by the Government takes any decision on the present roster point policy. The petitioner further seeks direction that if any promotion is made the same shall be subject to the decision of the Sub Committee. The learned standing counsel, on the other hand, states that the Committee has not taken any decision till date and roster remains the same as it is prevalent in the State of Uttarakhand. Taking into consideration the fact that the Committee will take decision as per it’s own convenience and promotions cannot be allowed to be withheld for indefinite period. I find no merit in this petition and the same is dismissed. (Nirmal Yadav, J.) 23.12.2010 Rajni
