GIRI ,J. ------------------------------- WP(C).NO.30039 of 2007 --------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of October, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Village Assistant, since her entry into service in the year 1984. Disciplinary action taken against the petitioner for alleged unauthorised absence ended in barring one increment with cumulative effect. Petitioner submits that she has not been granted regular promotion even to the post of UDC/Village Officer and Head Clerk/Revenue Inspector. Representation filed by the petitioner for fixation of pay taking note of service has also not been considered. Hence this writ petition. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider Ext.P8 taking note of the grievance raised by the petitioner and take appropriate remedial action therein, if her claims are found to be tenable, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner.
