             The petitioners have filed this petition to seek detailment<\/p>\n
on the B-1 course on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness with effect<\/p>\n
from the date their juniors were so detailed on this course. The<\/p>\n
petitioners, who were recruited as Constables on 21.7.1992 and<\/p>\n
2.1.1992 are\/were serving in District Faridabad. In view of<\/p>\n
amendment in Punjab Police Rules on 28.6.2001, 55% seats for B-1<\/p>\n
course are reserved on the basis of test, meaning thereby on the<\/p>\n
basis of merit. 35% seats are reserved to be filed on the basis of<\/p>\n
seniority-cum- fitness and 10% seats are reserved for sports quota<\/p>\n
etc.\n<\/p>\n
 Civil Writ Petition No.6329 of 2009 (O&M)                     :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n
             B-1 test was conducted in December, 2005.               The<\/p>\n
petitioners, however, were not detailed on the ground that they had<\/p>\n
not attained the requisite merit. One Naresh Kumar, who was a<\/p>\n
Constable and was declined detailment on the same ground, filed<\/p>\n
Civil Writ Petition No.7952 of 2004 before this Court. This writ was<\/p>\n
decided on 5.11.2004 and it is held that seniority-cum-fitness cannot<\/p>\n
be equated with seniority-cum-merit and if a senior is fit enough to be<\/p>\n
detailed, he is to be placed on B-1 list irrespective of his merit.<\/p>\n
Special Leave Petition against this decision has also been dismissed<\/p>\n
on 10.5.2005.\n<\/p>\n
             The petitioners also filed Civil Writ Petition No.21277 of<\/p>\n
2008, when his case was not considered in the light of law laid down<\/p>\n
in Naresh Kumar’s case (supra) Respondents were directed to<\/p>\n
decide the legal notice served by the petitioners within 30 days. The<\/p>\n
claim of the petitioners has been rejected on the ground that on<\/p>\n
1.1.2005 they were below the age of 35 years and were not entitled<\/p>\n
under 35% quota. This action of the respondents is now under<\/p>\n
challenge.\n<\/p>\n
             In the reply filed, it is pointed out that the claim of the<\/p>\n
petitioners was rejected under 35% quota as they were found to be<\/p>\n
under 35 years of age. Reference is made to amended Rule 13.7 of<\/p>\n
Punjab Police Rules, whereby 55% seats for B-1 course are reserved<\/p>\n
on the basis of a written test. Similarly, 35% seats are reserved for<\/p>\n
detailment on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness of those candidates<\/p>\n
who are over 35 years but below 40 years of age on the first day of<\/p>\n
January of the year in which the test is conducted. It is pointed out<\/p>\n
that date of birth of petitioner No.1 is 15.6.1973 and as such he was
\n Civil Writ Petition No.6329 of 2009 (O&M)                       :3 :<\/span><\/p>\n
less than 35 years of age till 2008. Similarly, date of birth of petitioner<\/p>\n
No.2 is 15.10.1972 and he was also less than 35 years of age on<\/p>\n
1.1.2007 and hence was not eligible under 35% quota. The case of<\/p>\n
petitioner No.2 was duly considered in the year 2008, but he could<\/p>\n
not be detailed being lower in seniority list being at Sr.No.126. The<\/p>\n
case of the petitioners was also examined in the light of law laid<\/p>\n
down in the case of Naresh Kumar Vs. State of Haryana, Civil Writ<\/p>\n
Petition No.7952 of 2004, decided on 5.11.2004. It is specifically<\/p>\n
pointed out that no constable junior to the petitioners was deputed for<\/p>\n
lower school course in the year 2007 and 2008.\n<\/p>\n
            Copy of the amended Rule has been placed on record as<\/p>\n
Annexure P-1. The counsel for petitioners has referred to Rule 13.7<\/p>\n
(2) (i), (ii) and (iii). These provisions talk of detailment on B-1 course<\/p>\n
on the basis of seniority-cum-merit, i.e., 55% quota. 35% quota<\/p>\n
would be regulated by 13.7 (8). This part of the rule provides that for<\/p>\n
selection of 35% candidates on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness,<\/p>\n
separate Departmental Promotion Committee shall be constituted<\/p>\n
and they shall select the names as per seniority-cum-fitness keeping<\/p>\n
in view the provisions of Rule 13.1. The requirement of the age being<\/p>\n
35 years and above and less than 40 years appears to have been<\/p>\n
taken from Rule 13.7 (2) (i) and (ii). In terms of Rule 13.7(2)(i) all<\/p>\n
Constables have been made eligible to appear in the test if they are<\/p>\n
under the age of 35 years. This part of the rule obviously is meant for<\/p>\n
55% of the seats. Similarly, as per Rule 13.7(2)(ii), Constables are<\/p>\n
eligible to be brought on list B-1 on the basis of seniority-cum-merit if<\/p>\n
they are under the age of 40 years. Detailment on merit is to be co-<\/p>\n
related to 55% of the seats. Rule 13.7(2)(i) talks of eligibility to
\n Civil Writ Petition No.6329 of 2009 (O&M)                     :4 :<\/span><\/p>\n
appear in test and Rule 13.7 (2)(ii) regulates the eligibility to be<\/p>\n
brought on list B-1. Constable, thus, is eligible to appear in test and<\/p>\n
compete if he is less than 35 years and he can be brought on B-1<\/p>\n
list till the age of 40 years. 35% seats are to be filled on the basis of<\/p>\n
merit-cum-fitness. This, thus, has to be after the Constable<\/p>\n
completed 35 years of age. Since he can be brought on B-1 list upto<\/p>\n
the age of 40 years, his claim for detailment on the basis of seniority-<\/p>\n
cum-fitness has to remain till he attains 40 years of age. After 40<\/p>\n
years of age, the Constable would not be eligible to be brought on B-<\/p>\n
1 list as can be seen from Rule 13.7(2)(ii). The scheme appears to<\/p>\n
be to make all constables eligible for appearing in the competitive<\/p>\n
examination under 55% seats, if they are under the age of 35 years<\/p>\n
and have five years of service. Those, who qualify, can be brought on<\/p>\n
B-1 list till the age of 40 years. The person, who wants to compete on<\/p>\n
the basis of seniority- cum-fitness, obviously would have to be above<\/p>\n
35 years of age and below 40 years. That seems to be the only<\/p>\n
reasonable reading of Rule 13.7 as now amended. Accordingly, I do<\/p>\n
not find any infirmity in the impugned order, whereby the claim of the<\/p>\n
petitioners has been rejected on the ground that they are not eligible<\/p>\n
being less than 35 years for detailment on the basis of seniority-cum-<\/p>\n
fitness.\n<\/p>\n
           The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
