No.13633 of 2010 (D) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 2nd day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner, who is working as an Assistant Conservator of Forests, claims to be eligible for promotion to the post of Deputy Conservator of Forests. He is aggrieved by Ext.P1 seniority list, in which, according to him, seniority has been assigned to juniors over him. It is stated that the list has been finalised without giving any opportunity or considering the objections filed. Highlighting this, he has filed Ext.P2 before the 1st respondent and seeks an order for its consideration. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader also in the matter. If as stated by the petitioner, he has filed Ext.P2 objections, it is only appropriate that the 1st respondent should consider the grievances, highlighted therein, with notice to the petitioner. This the 1st respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months 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
