J'Khand HC bans promotions of state govt employees

August 04, 2022 23:15

The high court of Jharkhand on Thursday put a ban on all promotions in government departments in the state.

Justice SN Pathak passed the order while hearing a PIL which claimed that a recent decision of the police department will hamper the general category employees' prospect of getting promotions.

The court ordered the director general of police Neeraj Sinha and the state government to file affidavits on the matter.

The next date of hearing has been fixed for August 18.

Petitioner Shrikant Dubey submitted that the DGP issued an order on June 23 on granting promotions to assistant sub-inspectors to the post of sub-inspectors.

According to the petitioner, the DGP's order stated that ASIs in the reserved category can seek promotion in the general category while no such liberty is given to candidates in the general category. -- PTI
