However, in para 2 of the reply the respondent State has clarified that the draft rules have been notified after the approval by the Government as well as Subordinate Service Selection Board on 1.10.1991. So far as rules regulating further promotion of the petitioners as well as respondents are concerned the same CWP 10505 of 1991 2 have been notified in 1997 which are known as Haryana Public Relations (Group B) State Service Rules,1997. According to the aforesaid rules, Assistant Cameraman can be given promotion to the post of Cameraman and from the post of Cameraman further promotion has been provided to the post of Television and Video Feature Officer. In the other line of post a Photographer has been made eligible for promotion to the post of Assistant Photo Cinema Officer and in turn he has been provided with further channel of promotion on the post of Photo Cinema Officer and thereafter a Photo Cinema Officer can be promoted on the post of Deputy Director. It is conceded that petitioner no.1 has been eventually promoted on the post of Deputy Director in the year 2009. Likewise respondent no.4 who has filed CWP No.16020 of 1997 has also been promoted eventually to the post of Television and Video Feature Officer.
