The petitioner challenged the promotion of respondent No. 7 on the post of Chief Store Officer on the ground of his not fulfilling the eligibility conditions for promotion to the said post by way of CWP No. 15689 of 2015. The same was disposed of vide order (Annexure P/17) dated 03.08.2015 by granting liberty to the petitioner to submit a self contained representation to respondent No. 2, who was directed to consider and decide the same, in a time bound manner. 2. The representation submitted by the petitioner was rejected by respondent No. 3 vide order (Annexure P/19) dated 30.09.2015. 3. Pursuant thereto, the petitioner invoked the jurisdiction of this Court by way of the instant writ petition. During the pendency of the writ petition, Enquiry Committee was constituted by the University authorities, which submitted a report (Annexure R/6) dated 04.07.2016, accepting the stand of the petitioner and holding that a well planned conspiracy had been hatched to snatch the fundamental rights of other eligible candidates by converting a direct selection post into a promotional post wherein only seniors i.e. Store Officers and Senior Store Keepers were considered and juniors i.e. Store Keepers could not be considered. Resultantly, only those candidates, who were either Store Officers or Senior Store Keepers were benefited i.e. namely Shri Hari Ram and Shri Vazir Singh Dalal by misuse of powers of the then Director Dr. C.S. Dhull, and the then acting Vice-Chancellor. 4. Certain recommendations were made in the enquiry report. The same are reproduced as under:- “The Enquiry Report is submitted for taking necessary step to (1) immediately demote Mr. Vazir Singh Dalal, after following due process of Law, from the post of Chief Store Officer to rectify this illegality committed deliberately in connivance and collision of Sh. Vazir Singh Dalal with other total system and channels from top to bottom, (2) stop incurring continuous public exchequer loss with immediate effect by re-fixing his pay scale for Sr. Vazir Singh Dalal, after following due process of Law, from the post of Chief Store Officer to rectify this illegality committed deliberately in connivance and collision of Sh. Vazir Singh Dalal with other total system and channels from top to bottom, (2) stop incurring continuous public exchequer loss with immediate effect by re-fixing his pay scale for Sr. Store Keeper, (3) initiate disciplinary departmental action against the erring officers for violating all CSR rules and regulation and University Statutes including abuse of process and (4) recover the public exchequer loss caused through connivance of illegal Promotion from the erring officials/officers and (5) forwarding the case to State Vigilance Bureau or any other Central Agency like CBI as deemed fit for further investigations and interrogations to unearth truth and possibility of indirect corruption for this illegal promotion. It is further strongly recommended that the HR Govt. may kindly be requested for getting the interrogation done by C.B.I. of the then Director Dr. C.S. Dhull, the then Vice-Chancellors and the then Superintendents ME-1 and ME-II to expose the deep rooted conspiracy done for not only this very concealment of facts regarding PG Diploma of Sh. Vazir Singh Dalal of year 2011-2012 but also to expose many such illegal appointments (direct selection and promotion) made like that of Nursing Superintendent, Assistant Supervisor CSSD, Plaster Technicians, Dr. H.S. Hooda, Dr. Rajesh Rajput and many other Sr. Professors in PGIDS Rohtak including many other appointments made vide Advertisement No. 2012 of UHSR. This will also expose reasons behind manipulations done by the then Director to suppress inquiries without taking any appropriate actions on them, which ultimately had resulted not only in out-right protection of their pets but also had resulted in Prevention of recovery and thus caused a huge financial loss of many Lacs of rupees to public exchequer. In the meanwhile, the case of Sh. Hari Ram needs to be reconsidered after verification of UGC-recognition of his Diploma in Material Management and other documents for assessing his eligibility to this post of Chief Store Officer.” 5.
