Kuldip Singh, J. - (1.) This order of mine shall dispose of two writ petitions bearing CWP No.9781 of 2013 and 8627 of 2016, involving the same subject matter.
(2.) The short controversy in the present petition is that the petitioner Darshan Singh, who was working as Social Studies Master in the Govt. school retired on 31.01.2012 and petitioner Promila Sharma, who was working as Hindi Mistress in the Govt. school, retired on 30.04.2012. It is claimed that the Departmental Promotion Committee held its meeting on 13.12.2011 to 15.12.2011 and promoted both the petitioners as Lecturers.
(3.) However, after the superannuation of the petitioners, the Department passed the promotion order on 18.05.2012, whereby the petitioners were promoted as Lecturers. Now, the petitioners claim that they should be granted the benefits of deemed promotion after their retirement.;
