WHO IS AFFECTED:

• State Excise Department hierarchy — All senior officials (Commissioners, Divisional Deputy Commissioners, Inspectors) who must recognize her new position

• High Court of Maharashtra — Ongoing litigation (Writ Petition 7253/2015) on reservation issues
• Divisional Deputy Commissioner's Office, Nagpur — Receives the promoted officer as new head

---

IMPORTANT NOTES / CONDITIONS / LEGAL CONTINGENCIES:

1. Conditional Nature: The promotion is not absolute. It depends upon:

   • Approval from Maharashtra Public Service Commission
   • Non-adverse judgment in High Court Writ Petition 7253/2015 (Reservation Act matter)

   • Temporary Status: This is explicitly a temporary/ad hoc promotion (तदर्थ पदोन्नती). It is NOT a permanent or substantive promotion. The officer does not acquire permanent rights to the higher post.

   • Vacancy Dependency: The promotion exists solely because Shri R. Salukhey is on deputization. Upon his return from deputization, the promotion automatically ceases.

   • Time Limitation: Even if Shri Salukhey remains on deputization beyond 11 months, Smt. Varma's promotion expires after exactly 11 months from 29 August 2015 (i.e., by 29 July 2016).

   • Pending Litigation Risk: The reference to Writ Petition 7253/2015 (reservation case) indicates that the promotion could potentially be affected by the High Court's decision. This creates legal uncertainty.

   • Transfer Upon Promotion: The promotion is coupled with an immediate transfer from Amravati (Inspector) to Nagpur (Divisional Deputy Commissioner). The officer cannot remain in Amravati after promotion.

   • No Financial Implication Stated: This document does not specify salary, allowances, or financial benefits of the promoted position — those are covered by separate pay commission/government resolutions.

     LEGAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR EXCISE ADMINISTRATION:

     • Department: This is a personnel administration matter, not a rule/policy affecting license holders
     • License Issuance Impact: NONE — does not affect FL-I, FL-II, FL-III, FL-IV, CL-I, CL-II, CL-III, Toddy, or Neera licenses
     • Regulatory Impact: NONE — does not amend or modify the Bombay Prohibition Act 1949, Bombay Foreign Liquor Rules 1953, or Maharashtra Country Liquor Rules 1973
     • Procedural Impact: NONE — does not change any application procedures, fee structures, or licensing conditions

     ---

     CONCLUSION:

     This is a personnel order (शासन आदेश) confirming temporary ad hoc promotion of an individual officer. It has no direct bearing on excise laws, licensing procedures, or fee structures. It is purely administrative and affects only the internal hierarchy of the State Excise Department.
