% 31.05.2017 C.M. No. 21384/2017 By this application, the petitioners seek extension to comply with the judgment dated 31.07.2017.

By the said judgment, the petitioner No.1 was directed to send their proposal within four weeks from the date of receipt of the said order and the respondent UPSC was to convene the Assessment Board within four weeks thereafter for grant of In-situ promotion to the respondents. The position as on date is that the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development &

Ganga Rejuvenation had still not forwarded the proposal to the UPSC even though only one month was granted for the said purpose. Thus, there is already a delay of 3 months and even the first step has not been completed. Mr. Bhardwaj submits that the Department has forwarded the proposal to the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, and the said Ministry is now in the process of forwarding the proposal to the UPSC.

We are not satisfied with the actions taken to comply with the said judgment. However, in the interest of justice, we grant 15 days time to the petitioner No.1 to forward the proposal to the UPSC, and the UPSC shall thereafter convene the Assessment Board within four weeks thereafter, as directed by the order dated 31.01.2017. It is made clear that no further extension shall be granted in the matter, and non-compliance of the said decision shall invite stern action.

Dasti.
