After hearing Advocate Sudershan Sharma appearing for the petitioner whereas AAG Ravinder Sharma appearing for the State, Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir observed, “Additional Advocate General has made it clear that Joint Director (Adm) and Joint Director Kashmir are one and the same post and promotional avenues are available equally to both and in any manner rank of the petitioner is not reduced”.
“The challenge thrown to the order impugned dated January 31, 2014 is misconceived and the interest of the petitioner is fully protected, therefore, this petition does not deserve any further consideration”, Justice Mir said.
