Thereafter, on 16.07.2025 the following order was passed: - During the course of hearing, Mr. Aman Dhir, DAG Punjab, submitted order dated 17.03.2025 disclosing that departmental enquiry was ordered against the petitioner. Faced with this, Mr. Yagyadeep, Advocate submits that charge sheet was served upon the petitioner on 23.06.2025, whereas, meeting of Departmental Promotion Committee was held on 23.05.2025. There was no occasion to leave the petitioner while considering case of juniors for promotion. Mr. Aman Dhir, DAG Punjab, seeks short accommodation to ascertain the date of service of charge sheet upon the petitioner. Adjourned to 18.07.2025.” 3. Learned State counsel fairly concedes that charge sheet was served upon the petitioner on 23.06.2025 and Departmental Promotion Committee (‘DPC’) was held on 23.05.2025. He, however, submits that aforesaid DPC was with respect to candidates other than of dying cadre. The petitioner belongs to dying cadre, thus, his case has to be considered along with members of dying cadre. 4. In the backdrop, this Court is of the considered opinion that present petition deserves to be dismissed and accordingly dismissed.
