Rajbir, a former Sub-Inspector with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), has been awarded the rank of Inspector by the Delhi High Court, nearly nine years after his retirement in 2017. The court's ruling came after Rajbir filed a petition highlighting that he was eligible for promotion on August 17, 2017, but was omitted from the promotion list due to incomplete service records. The division bench, comprising Justices Anil Kshetrapal and Amit Mahajan, noted that the absence of Rajbir's Annual Confidential Report (ACR) from his previous battalion contributed to the oversight. The court directed the CRPF to grant him the rank of Inspector retroactively to the date he was eligible, emphasizing that he sought no financial compensation, only the recognition of his service. Rajbir had joined the CRPF as a Constable in 1983 and opted for the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) in 2017. His case underscores the importance of maintaining accurate personnel records within government organizations.
