What will an officer do in three months? Your DGP does not know whether he is going to be there next month, so how can he plan anything for the state,&#8221; it asked.<\/p>\n<p>The bench was hearing a plea filed by Thane-based lawyer R R Tripathi, claiming that the state had &#8220;shown favouritism&#8221; towards Padsalgikar by granting him such extensions of tenure.<\/p>\n<p>Padsalgikar was due to retire on August 31 last year but was granted an extension of service for three months at that time.<\/p>\n<p>On November 30 last year, the chief minister granted another three months&#8217; extension to him. Both times, the Maharashtra government had urged the Centre to grant the extension for up to two years.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, both the Centre and the state, through their counsels, Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh and Advocate General Ashtosh Kumbhakoni respectively, opposed the PIL.<\/p>\n<p>Both the lawyers urged the court to dismiss the PIL arguing that the decision to grant an extension to Padsalgikar had been taken in &#8220;public interest&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Kumbhakoni told HC that the state was only trying to ensure that he served at least for two years as DGP, and as a consequence, police commissioner Subodh Jaiswal, the senior-most officer in the state after Padsalgikar, also served as the commissioner for at least two years.<\/p>\n<p>He also told the court that the state had decided to ask the Centre for a clear answer on whether or not Padsalgikar was going to be granted a longer extension.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the Centre says no, then as per procedure, we will ask the Maharashtra government and Union Public Service Commission to intervene, and if we don&#8217;t get any relief there, then as per procedure, the officer next in line for the post will be made DGP,&#8221; Kumbhakoni said.<\/p>\n<p>At this, the bench directed the Centre to take a decision on Padsalgikar&#8217;s tenure within the next four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We understand such decisions need time and you must give it much thought. Go through all requirements but keep in mind that a senior officer must be granted a stable tenure.
