………
It is inter alia contended that petitioners are eligible
and entitled to be considered for promotion to BPS-17. Directions have also
been sought against respondents that petitioners may be treated at par or
equivalent to B.E., Degree Holders. Respondent No.4 has filed comments in which
it is clearly mentioned that they have already sought approval for increasing
quota from 3% to 13% of B.Tech. (Hons.) through a letter dated 28.04.2012 which
is under process. It is further stated in response to paragraph-9 of petition
as under :-
“According to existing
rules/quota of 03% for promotion of B.Tech. (Hons.), Sub-Engineer is assessed
to 3.2 No. against which 04 No. B.Tech. (Hons.) Sub-Engineers have already been
promoted. Further enhancement of quota from 3% to 13% is under process of
approval hence petitioner has neither been denied nor deprived from promotion.
Promotions will be considered as per enhanced quota of 13% subject to approval
of same from competent authority.”
Since it is clearly stated
in the comments that increase in the quota has already been applied and matter
is pending before competent authority and it has been assured by respondent
No.4 that as soon as quota is enhanced, promotions will be considered as per
enhanced quota of 13%, the learned counsel for petitioners is satisfied.
This
petition is disposed of accordingly alongwith listed applications. However, it
is directed that respondent No.4 will expedite the matter so that they may be
able to obtain approval from competent authority within a period of three (03)
months.
