(1B) An officer is not entitled to appeal against a non‑appellable promotion.
(2) The only ground of appeal under subsection (1) shall be the greater efficiency of the officer making the appeal.
(3) An appeal under subsection (1) shall be made in such manner, and within such period after the notification of the promotion in the Gazette, as is prescribed.
(4) Where the Board considers it appropriate to do so, the Board may, before the expiration of the period prescribed under subsection (3), extend that period.
