Today in Ahmedabad, Gujarat High Court directed state governmentto permit police constables to appear in promotional exam for PSI Police Sub Inspector. Due to massive earthquake in Gujarat during December 2000 and January 2001 wherein 78 constables could not get their appointment letters on time due to chaotic situation in the state. Government has refrained them from appearing in promotional exam as they are lacking 10 to 45 days of experience due to chaotic state condition and giving them the advantage of natural calamity. Entire case was referred to Gujarat High Court where HC has granted relief to constables by permitting them to appear in departmental exam. State government had requested for stay on the case for appeal in Supreme Court, which was turned down by HC.
