This order will dispose of CWP No.10505 of 1991 and 16020
of 1997 as common questions of fact and law are involved in these writ
petitions. Facts are being taken from CWP No.10505 of 1991.
The prayer made by the petitioners in this petition is for
quashing draft rules (Annexure P/1) which were not notified by respondent
State till the filing of the petition on 10.7.1991. 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.
Mr.N.P.Mittal, learned counsel for the petitioners has stated
that petitioner no.2-Deepak Sachdev has died during the pendency of the
petition and no cause would survive qua him.
In view of the above, both the writ petitions have been rendered
infructuous and are disposed of as such.
