“4. That it is brought to the kind notice of the Hon’ble High Court that the order dated 14.02.2025 (Annexure P- 1) passed by this Hon'ble Court has been fully complied with by the office of respondent no.2 by passing a detailed speaking order dated 29.07.2025, whereby the claim of the petitioner has been rejected being devoid of the merits, the operative part of the speaking order is as under:-

..xx..xxx...6. That, HC/PR Bikramjeet Singh No. 1694/SASN (old 3/C-163,3-C/177,3-C/818,140/R) case has been examined in the light of order passed by Hon'ble High Court in CWP 23480/2015 (and other connected matters) and CWP 10367/2024 filed by Ct. Yugraj Singh No. 3/711 & others. The petitioner was earlier promoted as Head Constable (Dog Handler) vide this office order No.14993-15004/ E-1(7) Dated 10-12-2013. Apart from that above the Dog Handlers were promoted, with immediate effect as regular Head Constable (Dog Handler) as per the vacancy position. As per the official record, it is evident that the petitioner has been already promoted as Head Constable Dog Handler in year 2013 and now he was deputed on 27.06.2025 for Intermediate School Course-2024 (3rd batch) as per his seniority. After passing the course, he will be entitled for his promotion in the ASI rank.

7. That, after due consideration of the case of the petitioner in the light of theHon'ble High Court orders, the claim of the petitioner to promote him as Head Constable (Regular) from the date petitioner passed the Dog Handler Course i.e. from the date 07-09-2007 along with the consequential benefits i.e. arrears of revised salary, seniority etc. cannot be accepted. As such the same is rejected being devoid of merits...xx..xx..”

The above mentioned speaking order is annexed with this affidavit as Annexure R-1.”

A perusal of the above shows that in compliance of the order
