Roy, AC to GA-III -------- Order No. 6 /Dated: 21st January 2026 I.A No. 11333 of 2023 This interlocutory application has been preferred by the petitioners praying for a direction upon the 2nd Respondent to consider the fresh representations (Annexure-I.A-1 series) made by the petitioners in view of the fact that all the petitioners have now retired. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners fairly submits that now the original prayer of promotion is only for notional basis as such the petitioners have filed separate representation before the 2nd Respondent. As such he submits that the instant interlocutory application may be allowed and the main writ application may be disposed of by directing the 2nd Respondent to consider the individual representation filed by the petitioners and take a decision in their favour. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents does not raise objection. 4. Having regard to the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case 2026:JHHC:1676 4 and looking to the averments made in this application, I.A No. 11333 of 2023 is allowed. 5. Accordingly, the main writ application is also disposed of by directing the 2nd Respondent to consider the individual representation annexed as Annexure-I.A-1 series made by the respective petitioner in accordance with law and applicable rules and regulations. For brevity, the copy of Annexure I.A-1 series i.e. individual representation shall be submitted before the 2nd Respondent at the earliest by any of the petitioners and the moment 2nd Respondent receives the representations, he will take a decision and pass an appropriate order in accordance with law within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order. It goes without saying that if any order which would be in favour of the petitioner(s), the consequential benefits shall also be extended to them. 6. W.P.(S) No. 3252 of 2015 stands disposed of. 7. Pending I.As, if any, also stand disposed of. (Deepak Roshan, J.) 21st January 2026 Amit Uploaded on 29/1/2026
