Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:47469-DB Court No. - 1 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 2001557 of 2015 Petitioner :- State Of U.P. Through Prin. Secy. Institutional Finance Tax Respondent :- Surendra Singh Chaudhary And Another Counsel for Petitioner :- C.S.C. Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,B.M. Singh,Nasrul Hasan,Umesh Pratap Singh Hon'ble Rajan Roy,J. Hon'ble Manjive Shukla,J. Heard Shri V.P. Nag, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the appellant. This writ petition was filed by the State in 2015 challenging the judgment and order dated 14.08.2014 passed by the U.P. Public Services Tribunal, Lucknow in Claim Petition No. 710 of 2008 by which the claim petition of the respondent herein who was the claimant before the Tribunal, was allowed. The order dated 09.01.2009 by which the claim of the respondent herein was being considered for promotion to the post of Assistant Commissioner, Commercial Tax w.e.f. 17.07.1996 was declined, was quashed by the Tribunal on a finding having been recorded that juniors to him had been promoted and that there is nothing adverse in the career to deny the same to him. We confronted the learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel in this regard whereupon he took us to the written statement before the Tribunal and the pleadings before this Court which could not point out any adverse material in the service record nor any valid ground for us to interfere with the impugned judgment. Moreover, there was no stay in this writ petition and it has remained pending since 2015 when the respondent was 60 years of age. For all these reasons we do not find any ground for interference in the matter. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. . (Manjive Shukla,J.) (Rajan Roy,J.) Order Date :- 13.8.2025 R.K.P.
