ORDER:
SUREPALLI NANDA, J.
Heard Sri J.R.Manohar Rao, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Services-III appearing on behalf of the respondents.
2. The petitioner approached the Court seeking amended prayer as under:
“…to issue a writ order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents herein in not considering the case of the writ petitioner for promotion to the post of Joint Director for the panel year 2017-2018 though the 2nd respondent has issued Memo No 1027/168/A2/Admn I/2016 dt 14/08/2019 and Memo No 1027/168/A2/Admn I/2016 dt 28/10/2019 requesting the 1st respondent to submit the proposals for effecting promotion to the post of Joint Director is as illegal, arbitrary, unjust, and contrary to the orders issued in G.O.Ms.No.187, dt 25/04/1985 and consequent hold that t
The court mandated the review of promotion decisions considering revised seniority and previous directives, emphasizing the necessity of just and reasoned orders in administrative actions.
Eligibility for promotion cannot be denied due to administrative delays; notional promotions can impact pensionary benefits.
The main legal point established in the judgment is the compliance with the Division Bench's directions and the applicable provisions of law in rejecting the petitioner's claim.
Administrative delays should not adversely affect an employee's promotional prospects, allowing for notional promotions post-retirement under specific rules.
Promotion seniority is determined by Annual Confidential Reports, not merely by prior position, emphasizing non-arbitrariness in promotion decisions based on performance evaluations.
