Notably, a total of 13 policemen were given out of turn promotion, where 12 were promoted from constable to sub-inspector while one was promoted from sub-inspector to inspector, but now following the order of Jharkhand High Court, all the 12 sub-inspectors have been made constables again. The court order came after Arun Kumar, a policeman posted in Simdega district force, filed a petition in Jharkhand High Court saying that at the time of promotion, his colleagues were promoted but he was sidelined.After hearing the case, Jharkhand High Court issued an order directing the government to revert its order because out of tern promotion is not possible in gallantry. After the court’s order, all the 12 constables who became sub-inspectors after getting promotion from the police headquarters have been made constables once again.
