O R D E R

The writ petition is filed challenging the promotion of the third respondent to the post of Deputy Director of Differently Abled.

2.The counter filed by the Commissioner for the Differently Abled reveals that during the relevant point of time when the panel for promotion to the post of Deputy Director was prepared, the writ petitioner was not working in the feeder category of Assistant Director. The said position has been clarified in the counter and therefore, the case of the writ petitioner was not considered for promotion to the post of Deputy Director during the relevant point of time.

3.The writ petition is pending for the past about eight years. If at all, the petitioner is eligible for further promotion his case is to be considered in accordance with rules in force. However, in respect of the promotion of the third respondent to the post of Deputy Director, there is no irregularity or otherwise.

4.With these observations, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
