DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 P.C.:- This case has a long history. The petitioner was denied promotion on the basis of adverse remarks. He approached the Maharashtra Administratie Tribunal by Original Application No. 197 of 1997, challenging the adverse entries made against him from 1990-91 and succeeding four years. The remarks were expunged by an order of the Tribunal dated 6th January, 1998. 2 2. Thereafter, the petitioner approached the Tribunal again challenging his supersession to the post of Deputy Director of Small Savings. This application was also allowed by the Tribunal, directing the respondents to re-consider the case of the petitioner, in view of the fact that adverse remarks have been expunged. 3. Thereafter, the respondents, in terms of the Tribunal's order, re-constituted a Departmental Promotion Committee (D.P.C.), and considered the case of the petitioner, and the D.P.C., while taking into account the whole sevice record of the petitioner, found him not suitable for promotion. He challenged the order before the Tribunal. The Tribunal, by a well-reasoned order, dismissed the O.A., holding that the Tribunal could not substitute the view of the D.P.C. 4. We do not find any ground to intervene in the matter, particularly at this point of time when the petitioner must have retired long back. The petition is accordingly dismissed and the Rule discharged. BILAL NAZKI, J. J.H. BHATIA, J.
