CORAM :P.B.MAJMUDAR & R.M.SAVANT, JJ. DATE : 27th OCTOBER, 2010 P.C. 1. The above motion has been filed by the original respondents – Union of India, for extension of time to complete the process as directed by our Judgment and order dated 14-07-2009, time for which was extended upto 15-10-2010 by our order dated 09-04-2010 passed in the earlier Motions filed by the original respondents. Mr.Rana, learned Senior Counsel, draws our attention to a letter dated 27-10-2010 addressed by the U.P.S.C., to the Secretary, Government of India, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. In the said letter, it has been recorded by the Commission that the original petitioner has been found suitable for appointment on promotion basis to the post of Director General in the 2 NMW 556 of 2010 Films Division, Mumbai. The said letter further records that the recommendations however, will be subject to the outcome of the criminal cases pending against petitioner in the Sessions Court, Mumbai. In paragraph No.3, the Commission has requested that the notification, appointing the officer may be forwarded to it. 2. The above motion was filed when the process was in motion and therefore, the respondents had sought for extension of time of about 30 days to complete the process. In the light of the said letter, it is therefore, ex facie clear that the process has been completed albeit belatedly by 12 days. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we have no hesitation in allowing the above motion and extending the time for compliance by a period of 15 days from 15-10-2010. 3. The regrets expressed by the senior Officers of the Department, who are personally present in the Court for the time overlap, are accepted. Notice of motion to accordingly stand disposed of. 4. The letter dated 27-10-2010 is taken on record and marked ‘X’ for identification. ( R.M.SAVANT, J. ) ( P.B.MAJMUDAR, J. )
