BY G.P.SRI.ARAVIND KUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.18612 of 2010 (B) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 16th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are Assistant Engineers, who were promoted in the diploma quota. According to the petitioners, as on 01/01/2008, there was dearth of Assistant Engineers in their quota, and therefore, the promotions, which were given to them in 2009 should be reassigned with effect from 01/01/2008. It is with this prayer, they have filed Exts.P3 to P13 representations, which are pending before the 2nd respondent and seek a direction for its consideration. Having regard to the pendency of these representations, without expressing anything on the merits of the claim raised, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P3 to P13 representations, with notice to the petitioners. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
