1. While issuing Rule, on 11.03.1996, this Court passed following order:
"Rule.
By way of interim relief, it is directed that the respondent authorities shall take a decision in the case of the petitioner as regards his promotion to the post of Head Constable Grade-II in context of their earlier communication dated 8th October, 1992, a copy of which is at Annexure "F" to the petition, in which the petitioner was informed that if any irregularity was noticed, then it will be set right and process of giving promotion to the petitioner will be undertaken. It is surprising that though earlier by order dated 25th March,1994 in a petition which was filed by this petitioner, it was directed that a decision should be taken as soon as possible after the exercise of fixing the roster position was undertaken as per the said communication dated 8.10.92 and the petitioner should be informed the result of such exercise, nothing has been done so far by the respondents in that direction.
The respondents are therefore, directed to take an appropriate decision in the matter within two weeks from today and place it on the record of this petition. Matter to be listed for final hearing on 2.4.1996. Direct service is permitted."
2. This Court vide order dated 16.01.2012 granted liberty to the learned Assistant Government Pleader to get the copies of the relevant documents from the file of the Court. This exercise was required to be completed within a period of 10 days. However, learned Assistant Government Pleader is, still, without papers, necessary for disposal of this case.
3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader is given the last opportunity to get the relevant papers. It is the prerogative of the State to argue without papers. However, no further adjournment for this purpose will be granted.
4. The outcome, in pursuance of the order dated 11.03.1996, be brought to the notice of the Court, on the next date of hearing. S.O. to 24TH FEBRUARY, 2012.
