A corporal of police is challenging the Promotion Advisory Board (PAB) and the Attorney General over the alleged failure to interview him for elevation to the rank of sergeant.

Cpl Prem Mungroo argues that the omission, ongoing for more than three years, breaches the PAB’s statutory duties, violates natural justice, and infringes his constitutional rights.

Mungroo was granted leave on November 26 to seek judicial review. He is asking the High Court to declare unlawful the PAB’s continued refusal to conduct an interview to assess his suitability for promotion. He says he became entitled to the in interview on January 25, 2022, after passing the required qualifying examination and maintaining “outstanding” performance appraisals from 2016 through 2023.
