Bimlesh Tanwar vs State Of Haryana And Ors on 10 March, 2003
17.In view of the fact that the impugned order of the 3rd Respondent in Memo No.2538/PSD-A1/1999 dated 01.06.2011 specifically refers to the fact that the Petitioner's seniority in the post of District Superintendent of Police (really speaking, it should be Deputy Superintendent of Police) in the Tamil Nadu Police Force included in Group I Services 1999 2000, was fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down by the Government in their letter dated 20.08.1998 of the Personnel and Administrative Department which was based on the Judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in P.S. Ghalaut Vs. State of Haryana, (AIR 1996 SC 351) and as such, her request for seniority in the post of District Superintendent of Police (really speaking, it is Deputy Superintendent of Police) in the Tamil Nadu Police Service included in Group I 1999 2000 recruitment was inadmissible and could not be complied with, inasmuch as the selection was made with the Rules in existence then and this Court, taking note of a very vital fact of the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Bimlesh Tanwar V. State of Haryana, reported in AIR 2003 Supreme Court 2000 which overruled the earlier decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.S. Ghalaut Vs. State of Haryana, AIR 1996 SC 351, comes to an inevitable and resultant conclusion that the impugned proceedings of the 3rd Respondent dated 01.06.2011 are clearly an invalid and illegal one, in the eye of law. Consequently, this Court interferes with the said impugned order dated 01.06.2011 passed by the 3rd Respondent and sets aside the same. Resultantly, the Writ Petition succeeds.
