Specially when blame for delay in such consideration, rests squarely on the shoulders of the authorities themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This would lead to individual resentment, bitterness, displeasure and indignation. This could also undoubtedly lead to, outrage at the highest level of the armed forces,&#8221; the court said taking exception to the way the case was dealt with.<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 260px;\" align=\"right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Answering its query in affirmative, with a rider that it was subject to authorities being desirous of filling the vacancy of a Lt Gen&#8217;s post when it became available on Jan 1, 2007, the court said, noting that in the case of Maj Gen Singh, the authorities were desirous of filling up the said vacancy in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The court rejected the government&#8217;s plea that at the time of considering Maj.Gen. Singh for promotion, he was on extension of service.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The denial of promotion to the appellant (Maj Gen Singh) mainly for the reason that the appellant was on extension in service, to our mind, is unsustainable besides being arbitrary, specially in the light of the fact, that the vacancy for which the appellant was clamouring consideration, became available well before the date of his retirement on superannuation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have, therefore, no hesitation in rejecting the basis on which the claim of the appellant for onward promotion to the rank of Lt Gen was declined by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Surely, extension of service, for the purpose granted to the appellant, would most definitely fall within the realm of Rule 16A of the Army Rules, unless of course, individual resentment, bitterness, displeasure and indignation of army personnel at the highest level is of no concern to the authorities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Or alternatively, the authorities would like to risk outrage at the highest level, rather than doing justice to a deserving officer,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>Granting promotion to Maj Gen Singh as Lt. Gen. from the date due to him, the court said that he would be treated as being on service till Feb 28, 2009 when he would have attained the age of 60 years, and would be entitled to &#8220;all monetary benefits which would have been due to him, on account of his promotion to the rank of Lt Gen till his retirement on superannuation, as also, to revised retirement benefits which would have accrued to him on account of such promotion&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The court directed the government to release the monetary benefits to Maj Gen Singh within three months from the date of the receipt of the certified copy of its judgement.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court has said that an eligible candidate has fundamental right to be considered for promotion against the available vacancy and promoted if adjudged suitable.
