HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AHANTHEM BIMOL SINGH

27.02.2026

Heard Mr. I. Denning, learned counsel appearing for

the petitioner.

Issue notice, returnable within three weeks.

Mr. Th. Vashum, learned GA entered appearance and

accepts notice on behalf of all the respondents and hence, no

formal notice is called for.

The case of the present petitioner is that by a letter

dated 11-01-2022 from the Secretariat, Home Department,

addressed to the Director General of Police, Manipur, the

Government has conveyed approval to the amendment of Rule

C(1) of DGP's standing order No. 189 dated 15-04-2021.

It is the case of the petitioner that despite conveying

approval of the Government to such amendment, the DGP

Page 1 (respondent No. 2), had not yet notified/published the proposed

amended Rules. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner

that if such amendment is notified, the petitioner would be

entitled to be considered for promotion.

In view of the submission made above, the learned

GA is directed to get instructions from the respondent No. 2, i.e.

the DGP, Manipur as to whether the said proposed amendment

which has been duly approved by the State Government has been

notified or not and place the instruction before this Court on the

next date of hearing.

List these cases again on 10-04-2026.

JUDGE

Dhakeshori
