His case for promotion to the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police came up for consideration before the Departmental Promotion Committee on 29/30‑6‑1976. On account of certain adverse entries in his record, the Committee did not recommend him for immediate promotion but decided that his case would be reconsidered after he had earned three consecutive good reports from his superiors. Accordingly his case was again placed before the committee on 23‑10‑1979. On this occasion he was considered fit for promotion. During the intervening period, a number of Inspectors who were junior to him were promoted as Deputy Superintendent of Police. He made a representation that he should be declared senior to them. His representation was rejected whereupon he filed an appeal before the Service Tribunal. The learned Tribunal accepted the appeal and granted him the seniority on the ground that the deferment of promotion was not tantamount to rejection ass case for promotion.
