As per case facts, petitioners, Constables in Haryana Police, were listed for the Lower School Course (promotion to Head Constable) under the 35% Seniority-cum-Fitness category. They are unwilling to undergo ... the course and accept promotion, desiring to remain Constables and forgo associated benefits. The respondent is compelling them due to an alleged shortage of Investigating Officers, citing a DGP letter. The petitioners appealed this compulsion via a Writ Petition. The question arose whether the respondent can compel petitioners to seek promotion when they are unwilling, particularly in the absence of specific Rules mandating it. Finally, the High Court ruled that petitioners cannot be compelled to seek promotion, as it is their prerogative. The respondent cannot force promotion without specific Rules being framed. The petitions were allowed, with the petitioners conceding they would not claim Head Constable benefits.
