The case pertained to the promotion of inspectors to Deputy Superintendents of Police. They had an order of the Central Administrative Tribunal in their favour. The Administration had been claiming that the order was bad in the law as the UPSC had not been heard before the issuance of directions. Taking up the petition against UT inspectors Kehar Singh and Sukhwinder Singh, the Division Bench of Justice Permod Kohli and Justice TS Dhindsa made the UPSC a party on the Administration’s request. At the onset, UT senior standing counsel Sanjay Kaushal, in fact, requested the court to implead the UPSC as a respondent. “We are of the considered view that the UPSC is a necessary and proper party to the present proceedings. We, accordingly, implead the UPSC, through its secretary, as a party. In the meantime, contempt proceedings against any of the officials of the petitioner shall remain in abeyance,” the Bench said. In the petition, the Administration and other petitioners were seeking directions for quashing the order passed by CAT on August 19. The tribunal, vide the order, had directed the Administration and other petitioners to consider the promotion of the applicants to posts of DSP on the basis of recommendations made by the DPC in February. The Administration had been claiming that the direction was contrary to rules, which made it mandatory to hold consultations with the UPSC for the preparation of the relevant list. The petition said the Administration had, in fact, been corresponding with the UPSC, “seeking clarification with regard to the issue of consultation for appointments by way of promotions”. The petitioners added that the tribunal, vide another impugned order dated October 4, further directed the implementation of the August 19 order within a fortnight. Acting on a contempt petition, the tribunal, vide an order dated October 25, observed that in case the relevant orders were complied with by the next date of hearing, the Advisor to the Administrator and the Home Secretary should appear in person with a clarifying response.
