BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.M.R.SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V. GIRI, J. ------------------------------- WP(C).NO. 16195 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of June, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Reserve Inspector in the Armed Reserve, Ernakulam, RuraL. He is aggrieved that he was denied promotion from the post of Reserve Sub Inspector to Reserve Inspector, which is the selection post, when he was superseded in Ext.P5 seniority list. Apparently, this was on account of the pendency of certain disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner, which the petitioner says has subsequently been concluded exonerating him from any charge. The petitioner's claim for affording him seniority in the post of Reserve Inspector by placing him at an appropriate place above his immediate juniors in the seniority list is pending consideration before the Government as Ext.P6. 2. Having heard the learned counsel on both sides, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and take appropriate decision on Ext.P6, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The WPC.16195 /2008 2 petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent. V. GIRI, JUDGE. Pmn/
