The<br \/>\npetitioner was given promotion to the post of Police<br \/>\nInspector under order dated 11th September, 1990 with<br \/>\neffect from 24th April, 1988. Learned counsel for the<br \/>\npetitioner contended that in the year 1974 juniors to the<br \/>\npetitioner were given promotion and, though there was no<br \/>\npositive adversity in his service record, he has been<br \/>\nsuperseded and as such he should have been          given<br \/>\npromotion from the deemed date of 23rd May, 1974.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.In this case arguments were heard by this Court<br \/>\non 9th April, 1997. During the course of arguments the<br \/>\ncourt has specifically put a question to the counsel for<br \/>\nthe petitioner whether the petitioner made any grievance<br \/>\nat any stage after his supersession in the year 1974 till<br \/>\nthe filing of special civil application. The counsel for<br \/>\nthe petitioner made reference to para 4 of the special<br \/>\ncivil application and contended that the grievance was<br \/>\nmade by the petitioner against his supersession in the<br \/>\npromotion made in the year 1974. After going through the<br \/>\ncontents of para 4 of the petition, the court was not<br \/>\nsatisfied that any representation was made by         the<br \/>\npetitioner.   Whatever averments made therein are vague<br \/>\nand incomplete. The counsel for the petitioner prayed<br \/>\nfor time to file copy of the representation made to the<br \/>\nDepartment. That prayer was accepted and the matter was<br \/>\nadjourned to 22nd April,1997. On 22nd April, 1997 also<br \/>\nthe counsel for the petitioner has shown her inability to<br \/>\nfile any such document. The fact remains that there is<br \/>\nnothing on record of the special civil application to<br \/>\nshow that the petitioner had made complaint about his<br \/>\nsupersession in the matter of promotion in the year 1974.<br \/>\nIt is the modus operandi of the employees of the Police<br \/>\nDepartment in the State not to make any grievance against<br \/>\nsupersession in promotion till they bagged promotion.<br \/>\nAfter bagging promotion they start claiming deemed date<br \/>\nof promotion, challenging the supersession.       Earlier<br \/>\nalso, in many cases this court has deprecated this<br \/>\npractice of the employees of the Police Department of the<br \/>\nState. Be that as it may.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.The petitioner has right of consideration for<br \/>\npromotion, and not right of promotion. The case of the<br \/>\npetitioner was considered for promotion in the year 1974,<br \/>\n but he could not stand to merits in comparison with his<br \/>\njuniors and as such his name was not included in the<br \/>\nselect list.    The respondents have come up with the case<br \/>\nthat the criterion for promotion to the post of Police<br \/>\nInspector was merit and not seniority cum merit. Though<br \/>\nthe counsel for the petitioner has contended that the<br \/>\ncriterion for promotion on the post of Police Inspector<br \/>\nat the relevant time was seniority cum merit, she has<br \/>\nfailed to produce any rule or regulation or circular or<br \/>\nanything in support of this contention.       Contrary to<br \/>\nthis,   the respondents made reference in the reply<br \/>\naffidavit to rule 53 of the Police Manual wherein it is<br \/>\ngiven out that promotion to the post of Police Inspector<br \/>\n(unarmed) has to be made on the basis of merits alone.<br \/>\nTherefore it is not the case where the case of the<br \/>\npetitioner    was    not    considered   for    promotion.<br \/>\nSupersession was made as the petitioner was not found to<br \/>\nbe meritorious.     Even if the petitioner has average<br \/>\nservice record, he may not be given promotion and juniors<br \/>\ncan be promoted in a case where criterion for promotion<br \/>\nis merit. Positive adversity is not a thing to be taken<br \/>\ncare of, if comparative merit has to be assessed, and<br \/>\nwhosoever    is    found   meritorious,  irrespective   of<br \/>\nseniority, he can be given promotion. Not only in 1974,<br \/>\nbut thereafter also, though departmental inquiry was<br \/>\npending against the petitioner, his case for promotion<br \/>\nwas considered in the year 1976 and in 1977.       But in<br \/>\nthose years also he was not found meritorious and his<br \/>\nname was not included in the select list. His name was<br \/>\nincluded in the select list for the first time in the<br \/>\nyear 1979 and a person immediately junior to him in the<br \/>\nsaid select list was promoted with effect from 22-4-1980<br \/>\nand accordingly he was given promotion from the said<br \/>\ndate.     If juniors were promoted on 11-10-1974 and<br \/>\n24-5-1976, the petitioner did not make any grievance<br \/>\nagainst those promotions. He has made grievance against<br \/>\nhis earlier supersession only after his promotion under<br \/>\norder   dated     11-9-1980, by approaching this court.<br \/>\nChallenge to the supersession made in the year 1974<br \/>\notherwise is not tenable and it suffers from unexplained<br \/>\ndelay and latches. This writ petition is filed by the<br \/>\npetitioner about four years after his promotion. Taking<br \/>\ninto consideration the totality of the facts of this<br \/>\ncase, I do not find any justification in the claim of the<br \/>\npetitioner for deemed date of promotion from 23rd May,<br \/>\n1974 on the post of Police Inspector.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.In the result this special civil application<br \/>\nfails and the same is dismissed. Rule discharged.      No<br \/>\norder as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8230;..\n<\/p>\n<p>csm\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Whether Reporters Of Local Papers &#8230; vs Mr. H. L.
