(1.) AMITAVA Lala, J. All the writ petitions are similarly placed and as such connected with each other. The judgment and order to be passed hereunder will have binding effect upon all the writ petitions.
(2.) THE dispute is in respect of quashing the recommendations made by the Departmental Promotion Committee dated 20th/21st December, 2005 for promotion to the post of U. P. Civil Service (Executive Branch) from amongst the Tahsildars and/or quashing the select list dated 10th January, 2006 issued by the selection committee.
(3.) WE have come to know from the submissions of both the contesting parties that the selection in respect of direct recruit is being made year to year basis. The apprehension of the petitioners is that if for the direct recruit only the process is followed regularly leaving aside the departmental promotee, then there would be possibility of suppression by the direct recruit over and above the departmental promotees. Clubbing of the years is against the intention of the legislature.
