She submits that she is entitled to be promoted as Accounts Officer (II) or Administrative Assistant. Apparently, there arose a vacancy in the post of Accounts Officer (II) on 27.2.2008. This is evidenced by Exhibit P6. Petitioner’s grievance is that nevertheless steps have not been taken to convene a DPC for promotion to the post of Accounts Officer (II). 2. Going by Exhibit P6, there is an assurance that steps will be taken to fill up the vacancy in the post of Accounts Officer (II) to convene a DPC Higher in this regard. If that be so, there is no reason why there should be further delay as such. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to convene a DPC Higher for W.P ( C) No.20486 of 2008 2 the post of Accounts Officer in the Directorate of Training, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
