IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1108 OF 2011 (S/S) Prayag Dutt Joshi ………...Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand and others ……….Respondents. Present: Ms. Menka Tripathi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anil Bisht, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.(Oral) Heard Ms. Menka Tripathi, Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. Anil Bisht Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. The petitioner was working as a Head Constable in Civil Police. Since the petitioner had undergone a course in Pedagogy, he was assigned the work of teaching as the post was vacant. Only temporarily therefore the petitioner was assigned this work and hence designated as Sub- Inspector. Subsequently, however, the petitioner showed reluctance to work on this post and stated that he should be given the regular post of Sub-Inspector in Civil Police so that he can do investigation work as well in Civil Police. This was denied to the petitioner and the impugned order was passed wherein he was reverted to his original post of Head Constable. It is this order which is under challenged. This Court refrains to say anything on merits of the matter since the petitioner has already moved a representation dated 20.6.2011 (Annexure No. 9 to the writ petition) before the Inspector General, Police Headquarter, Uttarakhand Dehradun, which is pending. The Director General of Police, Uttarakhand, Dehradun is therefore requested to decide the representation of the petitioner dated 20.6.2011 in accordance with law as 2 expeditiously as possible, but preferably within a period of six weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before him. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 27.8.2011 Kuldeep
