The petitioner has come up with this writ petition, seeking to direct the respondents to dispose of his representation dated 25.03.2015, wherein and by which, he requested to promote him to the post of Assistant Commissioner of Police. According to him, the punishment of 'Censure' imposed on him could not operate as a bar in granting promotion. However, I am not inclined to express any opinion on the same. It is for the concerned authority to decide the same.
