1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.3814/2007 Dharam Pal Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of Order :: 12.5.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr.R.S.Charan, for the petitioner. ... By this petition for writ, a challenge is given to the promotion of respondent No.5 as Assistant Sub-Inspector. The claim of the petitioner is that he was senior than the respondent No.5 in the cadre of Head-Constable, therefore, the promotion should have been given to him prior to the respondent No.5. In reply to the writ petition, it is stated by the respondents that promotion of respondent No.5 on the feeder post was effected against the vacancies of District Sri Ganganagar in 1999-2000, but the same was not operated due to pendency of the enquiry under the provisions of Rules of Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1958 ('the Rules of 1958' for short). The effect was given to the same on his exoneration w.e.f. 28.06.2000, thus he is senior in the cadre of Head- Constable then the petitioner who was promoted on the feeder post on 15.07.2000. In view of the factual background stated above, the petitioner is junior than the respondent No.5. As such, the claim 2 of the petitioner for promotion prior to respondent No.5 by claiming seniority above the respondent No.5 is ill-founded, the writ petition is, therefore, dismissed.
