CWP No. 7322/2010 30.06.2011 Present: Mr. Lokender Paul Thakur, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. P. M. Negi, Dy. A. G. for the respondents-state Petitioner has prayed mainly for the following relief:- “ i. That a writ of mandamus be issued to the respondent No. 1 and 2 to consider the petitioner for promotion to the post of AADO from the date his juniors have been promoted i.e. 26th Dec. 2002 with all consequential benefits by quashing the Annexure P-4.” 2. There is no dispute that with effect from the year 2008, petitioner stands promoted as an Assistant Agriculture Development Officer. His claim for promotion from the year 2002 onwards stands rejected by the authorities in terms of order dated 17th June, 2010 (Annexure P-4). It is also not disputed that from the year 1995 onwards till the year 2006 (6th January, 2006), petitioner was depositing the amount which he had retained with himself pertaining to the year 1994-95. 3. In this view of the matter, since recoveries were to be effected from the petitioner, about which there was no dispute, he was rightly not promoted though his case was considered by the Departmental Promotion Committee. The view taken by the respondents-department is in consonance with law. It cannot be said that any legally enforceable right of the petitioner stands violated. Consequently, the present petition being devoid of merit is dismissed. June 30, 2011 ( Sanjay Karol ), (rana) Judge.
