B SARMA Advocate for : MR V KUMAR appearing for NO 3300316 RFN COOK NARENDRA PAL SINGH YADAV BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE NELSON SAILO O R D E R 31.03.2026 Heard Mr. B. Sharma, learned CGC, appearing for the applicants, who submits that the connected writ petition being WP(C) No.4424/2024 was disposed of by this Court vide common order dated 01.04.2025 with a direction that the respondent authorities should complete the process of cadre review as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of the order. Learned CGC submits that despite the endeavour made by the respondents/applicants to complete the process within the time frame, they are unable to do so and it is for this reason that the instant application has been filed. In this connection, she refers to paragraph No.5 of the application, which is reproduced herein as under:- “5. That the applicants state that the authorities are doing their best to comply/implement the common order dated 1/4/25. However, as there is a large nos. of petitioners, the authorities have to verify the details of each of the petitioners. More so prior to compliance/implementation the approval from the Ministry is also required. The process for compliance/implementation of the common order dated 1/4/25 is under process. However the authorities requires Page No.# 7/7 further six (6) months time to complete the process. As such, the applicants file this instant application for extension of six months time to comply/implement the common order dated 1/4/25.” 2. Mr. V. Kumar, learned counsel for the respondents/ writ petitioners submits that sufficient time has been granted to them and in fact the six months period given was expired on 01.10.2025. He therefore, submits that if time is to be granted, same should be not more than two months. 3. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the rival parties and also the materials available on record. 4. Ideally the applicants should have sought for extension of time before the expiry of the six months period granted to them instead of filing the application much later thereafter. It is however, seen that from the statements made in paragraph 5 of the application, as abstracted herein above, the entire exercise requires approval of the Ministry concerned and that the same also demonstrates that the case of the writ petitioners to have an opportunity for advancement in their career is under consideration by the applicants. 5. Such being the position, this Court is inclined to grant some more time to the applicants. Accordingly, the time for complying the common judgment and order dated 01.04.2025 stands extended for another period of 04(four) months from today. It is also made clear that no further extension of time will be granted. 6. With the above observations and direction, the application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
