MC 3334/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. BD Goswami, learned counsel for the applicant, Mr. N Choudhury , learned counsel for the writ petitioners in WP(C) No. 4099/2009 and Mr. RK Bor a, learned State counsel appearing for the State respondents. By this application, the applicant has prayed for modification of the in terim order dated 24.9.2009 whereby and whereunder the respondents were directed not to finanlise the ongoing process of selection of candidates for promotion t o different posts in Soil Conservation department of the Govt. of Assam till the next date fixed. The said order has been extended from time to time keeping it valid till today. According to the applicant, the writ petitioner having claimed promotion to the post of joint director of soil conservation, they cannot raise any griev ance relating to the process of selection for promotion from the post of assista nt soil conservation officer to the post of divisional soil conservation officer . Mr. Choudhury, learned counsel for the writ petitioners has fairly submi tted that the petitioners in the writ petition have claimed promotion from the p ost of divisional soil conservation officer to the post of joint director soil c onservation and have challenged such process of selection on various grounds, ap art from the ground of reservation. It appears from the contention raised in WP(C) No. 4099/2009 that the pe titioners claim promotion from the post of divisional soil conservation to the p ost of joint director soil conservation. Since the petitioners have no grievance against the promotion from the p ost of assistant soil conservation officer to the post of divisional soil conser vation officers, the interim order dated 24.9.2009 passed by this Court and the subsequent order extending the same stands modified to the extent that such inte rim order shall continue, until further orders, in so far as the promotion from the post of divisional soil conservation officer to the post of joint director s oil conservation only and shall not be in operation for promotion from assistant soil conservation officer to the post of divisional soil conservation officer. The interim order stands modified to the extent indicated above. Misc. Case stands disposed of.
