Through this writ petition, the petitioner has sought quashing of order dated 22.12.2009, vide which his representation for promotion to the post of Scientist D has been rejected on the ground that the same is arbitrary. The petitioner has, thus, prayed for grant of promotion with retrospective date i.e. 16.10.2000 as Scientist C.

Counsel for the petitioner, however, prays that he is entitled to promotion from retrospective date i.e. 16.10.2000. Let the petitioner file a representation, giving detailed reasons and the grounds on which he is entitled to promotion with retrospective effect. If the petitioner files representation within two weeks, the same shall be considered and decided in accordance with law within a period of three months thereafter. If the petitioner is aggrieved against any such order so passed, he would be at liberty to challenge the same in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
