JUDGMENT The petitioner is an officer of the Department of Industries now working as Assistant Director (HG). According to the petitioner, due promotions to him have been denied without any justification. It is also submitted that several of his juniors have already been promoted. The delay, according to the petitioner, was for want of Special Rules, but that has also now been rectified by promulgating the rules in the year 2008. Detailing his grievances, he has filed Ext.P4 representation before the first respondent. Even though the same has been received on 31.3.2008, so far no action has been taken on them. 2. Therefore, there will be a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 representation within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Any person who will be adversely affected in the matter, will also be heard. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
