CWP (T) No. 4270 of 2008 20.7.2009 Present:- Mr. Ajay Mohan Goel, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. R.K.Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. A.K.Bansal, Addl. A.G. and Mr. R.P.Singh, Asstt. A.G. for the respondents. The petitioner has raised grievance in the petition that he was not promoted as Block Primary Education Officer, though he was eligible for such promotion and he was placed at serial No.1 in the seniority list of eligible persons. The case of the respondents is that the petitioner was considered for promotion to the post of Block Primary Education Officer, but in the meantime, Model Code of Conduct came into force in view of Parliamentary Election in the year 1996 and the Election Code remained till May, 1996. In the meantime, the petitioner retired on superannuation on 30.4.1996. In the petition, there are no allegations of malafides nor it is the case of the petitioner that somebody else was promoted and he was not promoted during this period. The respondents in fact made promotions after May, 1996. In the light of above discussion and specifically in view of the fact that petitioner had retired on 30.4.1996, there is no merit in the petition which is accordingly dismissed. July 20, 2009. ( Kuldip Singh ) (GR) Judge.
