ORDER
The issue raised in the writ petition has already been considered by this Court in the case of M.Pongianan v. State of Tamil Nadu represented by its Secretary to Government, Home Department, Chennai and others, (2014) 1 MLJ 777, wherein a similar request for upgradation to the post of Special Sub Inspector of Police on completion of 25 years of service from the date of entry into service, was turned down on the ground https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
that any such upgradation, on the basis of G.O. (Ms.) No.15 Home (Police-V) Department, dated 07.01.2010, G.O. Ms. No.937 Home (Police-III) Department, dated 21.07.1998 and another G.O. Ms.No.844 Home (Police-V) Department, dated 03.06.1997 cannot be made with retrospective effect, as neither the scheme nor the aforesaid Government Orders directed the counting of services from the date of entry to upgrade the police personnel to the post of Special Sub Inspector of Police. This Court also found that without there being any vacancy to the post of Special Sub Inspector of Police, no such order of upgradation or retrospective promotion can be given effect to. 2.Since I am also in agreement with the aforesaid views of this Court, the writ petition filed by the petitioner, being bereft of any merit, fails. Therefore, finding no error in the impugned order, this Court is not inclined to grant the relief sought for by the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected W.M.P. is also dismissed.
