Judgment text as reported

The INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE, PUNJAB VS WARIS ALI R. 19.25---Police force---Proforma promotion---Litigation by police officials for promotion and other service-related benefits---Propriety---As per Rule 19.25 of the Police Rules, 1934, officers have to undergo various courses (A, B, C and D) to qualify for promotion---Training of upper subordinates, being Inspector, Sub-Inspector (SI) and Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI), is a mandatory requirement of law for the purposes of promotion in terms of Rule 19.25 of the Rules---Focus of Rule 19.25 of the Rules is capacity building in order to develop knowledge, skill and the necessary traits required for the post and rank---Being a disciplined force, the tendency to focus on promotions of juniors is totally irrelevant within the police department, where the primary focus and emphasis for promotion purposes should be training and capacity building---Hence, for all intents and purposes, promotion from the date of the promotion of juniors is not possible for upper subordinates in terms of the clear provisions of Rule 19.25---An officer must complete the required course(s) before seeking promotion---Furthermore, ante-dated promotion upsets the training requirement---Institution of police cannot thrive if it is consistently consumed in litigation for promotion and other service-related benefits---Hence, it is imperative that officers should focus on building institutional credibility and trust in the eyes of the public and develop an effective system of governance on service-related matters so as to end the trend of litigation on such matters.
