The aforesaid order, which has been<br \/>\npassed by this Court in case of present petitioner dated 9.3.2001, is<br \/>\nquoted as under:-\n<\/p>\n<p>#.  Heard learned<br \/>\ncounsel for the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>      #.    In   this   petition,  under  Article  226  of  the<br \/>\n      Constitution  of  India,  the  petitioner   praying   for<br \/>\n      issuance  of  writ  of  mandamus or any other appropriate<br \/>\n      writ, order or direction in the  nature  of  mandamus  by<br \/>\n      directing  the  respondents  to promote the petitioner to<br \/>\n      the cadre of Taluka Development Officer,  at  least  from<br \/>\n      the  date  on  which  his immediate junior Kumari Jamuben<br \/>\n      Chaudhari came to be promoted in June, 1977.  He  further<br \/>\n      prayed  for the consequential benefits followed from this<br \/>\n      deemed date of promotion to be granted to  him.    He  is<br \/>\n      claiming  this  benefit  on the ground that he belongs to<br \/>\n      Scheduled Tribe category but this claim was not accepted.\n<\/p>\n<p>      #.  In the reply to the Special Civil Application in para<br \/>\n      6  thereof  the  respondents  admitted  that  the dispute<br \/>\n      whether  the  petitioner  belongs  to   Scheduled   Tribe<br \/>\n      category  or  not  has  already  been  finalised  and the<br \/>\n      petitioner was considered as  Scheduled  Tribe.    It  is<br \/>\n      submitted  that  until  this  final decision taken by the<br \/>\n      competent  authority  his  case  was  not  considered  as<br \/>\n      Scheduled Tribe candidates.  After accepting the claim of<br \/>\n      the  petitioner  to the aforesaid category still his case<br \/>\n      for  promotion  was  not  considered  and  for  this  the<br \/>\n      explanation  of  the respondent in para 7 of the reply is<br \/>\n      as under :-\n<\/p>\n<p>       &#8220;I  further  state  and  submit that this Hon&#8217;ble<br \/>\n              Court  has  passed  an  order  in  Special  Civil<br \/>\n              Application No.720 of 1986 whereby, interim order<br \/>\n              is  passed  restraining the State Government from<br \/>\n              implementing  and  enforcing  the   order   dated<br \/>\n              4.2.1986.   A copy of the same is annexed herwith<br \/>\n              and marked as Annexure-I.  By the interim  order,<br \/>\n              it  was  directed by this Hon&#8217;ble Court that only<br \/>\n              qualified persons are required  to  be  promoted.\n<\/p>\n<p>              In  the  present  case,  the  petitioner  has not<br \/>\n              passed the  examination  as  per  the  rules  and<br \/>\n              therefore,  he is not qualified for promotion and<br \/>\n              as per the interim order of  this  Hon&#8217;ble  Court<br \/>\n              whereby  it is directed that only promotion is to<br \/>\n              be given to the qualified persons, and  therefore<br \/>\n              also,  the  case of the present petitioner cannot<br \/>\n              be considered.   The  Special  Civil  Application<br \/>\n              No.720  of  1986  is  still  pending  before this<br \/>\n              Hon&#8217;ble Court.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>      #.  The officer, who has sworn the affidavit  in  support<br \/>\n      of  the  reply-affidavit  has not cared to read the order<br \/>\n      dated 4.2.1986 passed by  this  court  in  Special  Civil<br \/>\n      Application No.720  of 1986.  Where this order would have<br \/>\n      been  read  by  him  then  the  reply  would  have   been<br \/>\n      otherwise.   In  the  affidavit though he has stated that<br \/>\n      the copy of this order of the court is  annexed  herewith<br \/>\n      and  marked  as Annexure-I but same is not annexed to the<br \/>\n      reply affidavit.  That goes to show that without  reading<br \/>\n      that  order  this  officer  has  filed this affidavit and<br \/>\n      therein  he  has  taken  stand  contrary   to   what   is<br \/>\n      contemplated in  the order passed by this court.  Be that<br \/>\n      as it may.  The Special Civil Application No.720 of  1986<br \/>\n      has  already been dismissed and whatever the hurdle which<br \/>\n      was there in the way of the respondents to  consider  the<br \/>\n      case  of  the  petitioner  for  promotion to the cadre of<br \/>\n      Taluka Development Officer does not remain.\n<\/p>\n<p>      #.  In the result, the Special Civil Application succeeds<br \/>\n      and  the  same is allowed the respondents are directed to<br \/>\n      consider the case of the petitioner for promotion to  the<br \/>\n      post  of  TDO  from  June, 1977, on which date his junior<br \/>\n      Kumari Jamuben Chaudhari was  promoted.    In  case,  the<br \/>\n      petitioner is found suitable for promotion to the post of<br \/>\n      TDO  with effect from June, 1977, he shall be entitled to<br \/>\n      all consequential benefits follow  therefrom.    Rule  is<br \/>\n      made absolute in these terms.  No order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThereafter, petitioner has made representation for the same prayer on 11th October,2004 to respondents, even though no decision has been taken. Thereafter, recently also one request was made to Hon&#8217;ble Chief Minister by letter dated 26th April,2011, but matter remained as it is and no decision has been taken by respondents in spite of the fact that in 2001, this Court has passed order in favour of present petitioner.  Therefore, in light of this background, it is directed to respondents to immediately consider case of petitioner for entitlement for promotion on the post of TDO with effect from June,1977 and, thereafter, also considered further question whether petitioner is entitled for any consequential benefits or not as early as possible within a period of one month from the date of receiving copy of present order and to keep in mind the age of petitioner, which is 76 years fighting for his legal rights to be considered for promotion more then 21 years in this Court.  This matter is to be considered seriously by respondents and to take appropriate decision as directed by this Court and communicate immediately decision to petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn view of above observations and directions, present petition is disposed of by this Court without expressing any opinion on merits.  However, in case, if respondents do not decide or examine case of petitioner for promotion for the post of TDO as directed by this Court within a period of one month, then it is open for petitioner to revive present petition by filing merely note in Registry.  Direct service is permitted.\n<\/p>\n<p>(H.K.RATHOD,J.)<\/p>\n<p>Vahid<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Laxminarayan vs State on 8 July, 2011 Author: H.K.Rathod, Gujarat High Court Case Information System Print SCA\/8184\/2011 4\/ 4 ORDER IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION No. 8184 of 2011 ========================================================= LAXMINARAYAN M RATNU &#8211;
