Respondents For Petitioner : Mr. Abhishek Pandey, Advocate with Ms. Sundara Sahu, Advocate For State : Ms. Sakshi Bajpai, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Parth Prateem Sahu, Judge Order on Board 28.04.2026 1. Petitioners have filed this writ petition, seeking following reliefs:- “10.1 That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the respondent authorities to produce all the relevant records relating to case of the petitioner before this Hon’ble Court for its kind perusal. 10.2 That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to permit the petitioner to prefer representation before the Respondent No. 2 and 3 and also direct the Respondent No. 2 & 3 to decide the representation of the petitioner for getting out of turn promotion to the petitioner No. 1 and 2 on the post of ASI and also to petitioner no. 3 to 9 on the post of head constable and also giving seniority and other consequential benefits to the petitioner from the month of March 2024. 10.3 That this Hon’ble Court may further be pleased to direct respondents to give suitable compensation to the petitioners for the mental trauma and agony, harassment and hardships suffered by them as also cost of the litigation.” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are seeking a direction to the respondents to consider their claim for grant of, out of turn promotion to the next higher post of Assistant Sub- 3 / 4 Inspector to petitioners No. 1 & 2 and Head Constable to petitioners No. 3 to 9 because they rendered exemplary services in terms of provision contained in Rule 56 (3) of the Special Armed Force Rules 1973 and Regulation 70 of the Police Regulations. 3. The petitioners’ claim is that the petitioners had participated in an naxal operation carried by the Armed Forces and Police Forces. The averment made in the petition is that many other police officers who had participated in the same or similar operation, have been granted aforesaid benefit but the petitioners have not been considered. 4. Learned counsel for the State would point out that the petitioners have filed this petition without preferring any representation. She would submit that if the petitioners prefer representation giving appropriate and relevant details of their claim, the competent authority under the Director General of Police shall examine and take appropriate decision within a reasonable time. 5. The provision contained in aforesaid two rules do make provision for consideration of cases of out of turn promotion in certain contingencies where the police officers claim to have rendered exemplary services in the manner and under the circumstances referred to in the rules. If that is the claim of the petitioners, the respondents are obliged under the law to examine the same whether the petitioners can be also granted those benefits. 6. Considering nature of grievance as raised by petitioners, I am of the opinion that the grievance of petitioners is to be first considered and decided at the ends of respondents. 4 / 4 7. For the foregoing, the writ petition is disposed of permitting petitioners to submit comprehensive representation along with all relevant documents raising all grounds as raised in this writ petition before respondent No. 2 and 3 and in the event petitioner submit such representation, respondent no. 2 and 3 shall consider and decide the same, in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within three months from the date of receipt of representation. 8. With the aforesaid observation and direction, this writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) Judge pwn
