BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.THOMAS JULIEN AMBOOKEN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.16080 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 11th June, 2008 J U D G M E N T The only relief substantially sought for by the petitioner is that his name may be forwarded to the Review Departmental Promotion Committee in the post of Executive Engineer in the Water Resources Department to be convened in a short while. I take note of the fact that in Exhibit-P19 judgment, a direction had already been issued to the 3rd respondent to place the petitioner's name before the next Departmental Promotion Committee, in relation to the post of Executive Engineer. Apparently, DPC had been convened before the judgment could be communicated. But the reason for such a direction continues to exist. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to place the name of the petitioner before the 2nd respondent to enable the W.P ( C) No.16080 of 2008 2 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner's case in the Review Departmental Promotion Committee to be held next. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the writ petition along with copy of this judgment before respondents 2 and 3 independently, for compliance.
