According to the notification, Nanak Singh, Gaurav Garg, Deepak Hilori, Gurmeet Chauhan and Naveen Saini have been promoted.

“This promotion would be subject to pending writ petitions/court orders/compliance reports in the Punjab and Haryana high court,” the order read.

Nanak Singh and Deepak Hilori are being promoted subject to the condition that the actual financial benefits and all future increments shall accrue only after the completion of the mid-career training programme phase.

The orders said as a necessary safeguard, the promotion of Gurmit Singh Chauhan and Naveen Saini would be subject to the review of the select list/re-determination of seniority/re-assignment of the year of allotment of IPS officers by the ministry of home affairs, if any.

“In view of the recommendations of the screening committee for this promotion, the name of Vivek Sheel Soni (2011 batch) has been kept in sealed cover due to the pendency of disciplinary proceedings against him. The sealed cover shall be opened after the termination of the disciplinary proceedings against the officer,” the order said.
