After that, the government approached the Supreme Court through a Special Leave Petition, which was not admitted by the apex court.
Dar’s case is similar to that of former IPS officer Ashiq Bukhari.
A division bench of the high court on October 26 last year directed the state government to consider seniority of Bukhari as Superintendent of Police from the date he was given charge of the post and induct him into the IPS cadre.
The state government implemented the order in Bukhari’s case within the stipulated time and the IPS officer was allowed to rejoin the service for a month as Deputy Inspector General with all monetary benefits paid with retrospective effect.
The next date of hearing is in the third week of November.
