The Delhi High Court, on Thursday, asked the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and Haryana government to file their replies on a plea challenging the appointment of Manoj Kumar Yadava (IPS:1988:HY) as the state’s Director General of Police (DGP).
Justice Suresh Kait also asked Yadava to file his reply on the plea and posted the next hearing on July 11.
The court was hearing a plea filed by IPS officer Prabhat Ranjan Deo (IPS:1986:HY).
In his plea, Deo said that despite being the senior-most and fully eligible, he was overlooked and superseded and not even considered by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in the process of empanelment for the post of DGP. He added that even his representation to the UPSC Chairman was neither considered nor replied to.
Deo said that the UPSC decision was contradictory as it completely overlooked his eligibility and superseded his seniority. (IANS)
