Respondent(s) For Applicant(s) : Mr. S.S. Baghel, Dy. G.A. Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Ravindra Kumar Agrawal , Judge 3 Judgment on Board Per Ramesh Sinha , Chief Justice 06.02.2025 1. Heard Mr. S.S. Baghel, learned Deputy Government Advocate for the applicants / State. 2. This Court, vide order dated 16.04.2024, disposed of the WPS No. 3600/2020 (Vikas Tandon and others vs. State of Chhattisgarh and Others), as well as bunch of petitions directing the State Government to rework / re-frame the subject Promotion Rules and to notify the same within period of three months from the date of receiving a copy of the order. 3. Mr. S.S. Baghel, learned Deputy Government Advocate for the applicants / State states that despite making best efforts, as the entire exercise requires collection of empirical data and then re-frame the rules, collecting of data is a time taking task in the light of the fact that no census has taken place for the year 2021, as such, order dated 16.04.2024, passed in WPS No. 3600/2020 along with bunch of petitions by this Court, could not be complied within the prescribed time of three months granted to the applicants. Hence, this application for extension of time, praying for a further period of 3 months for reworking / re-framing the subject Promotion Rules. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the applicants and perused the documents appended in this application. 5. Perusal of the records goes to show that a sufficient period of 4 three months was already granted to the learned counsel for the applicants for reworking / re-framing the subject Promotion Rules while disposing of the WPS No. 3600/2020 along with a bunch of petitions vide order dated 16.04.2024. However, considering the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the applicants, it is directed that the applicants shall rework / re-frame the subject Promotion Rules within a period of one month from today. It is made clear that no more time shall be granted to the applicants / State Government for the said purpose. 6. In view of the above, the instant MCC is disposed of.
