WP(C) 6718/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA.. Heard Mr. A. Dasgupta, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. D. Baru ah, learned counsel appearing for the Respondent No.4. I have also heard Ms R. C hakraborty, learned Addl. Sr. Govt. Advocate. The petitioner is aggrieved by the Annexure-9 order dated 10.12.2010, by which the Respondent No.4 has been promoted as Revenue Sheristadar. The only st and in the writ petition is that the official respondents, before promoting the Respondent No.4, ought to have initiated regular selection process. Such a stand is taken in paragraph 13 of the writ petition. It is in consideration of the aforesaid stand of the petitioner, this Co urt was inclined to pass interim order dated 20.12.2010 staying the operation of the impugned order of promotion. Ms R. Chakraborty, learned Addl. Sr. Govt. Advocate has produced the rec ords. In the meantime, the Respondent No.4 has also filed Misc. Case No.124/2011 praying for vacation of the aforesaid interim order. The stand of the responden ts is that there was regular process of selection as per the recruitment rules i n which, the case of the 5 (five) incumbents namely, the petitioner, the Respond ent No.4, Sri Sanat Bijoy Dutta, Sri Anup Sarmah and Sri Doyaram Kurmi were cons idered along with the Annual Confidential Reports and service records. The selec tion committee upon evaluation of the A.C.Rs and service records graded the offi cers with different marks and 3 (three) candidates having secured same marks, t he seniority played the role. The Respondent No.4 being senior amongst the three candidates who obtained equal marks i.e. 7, the selection committee recommended the Respondent No.4. Be it stated here that the petitioner secured 6 marks. From the above, what is seen is that the stand of the petitioner that the impugn ed promotion order was not preceded by any record is not correct. If the petiti oner is aggrieved by the minutes of the selection committee and for that matter, the recommendation of the selection committee, it will be open for him to chall enge the same. With the above liberty, the writ petition is dismissed. Interim order stands vac ated.
