THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 6845 of 2007 Oral order: The petitioner, who is presently working as Senior Section Officer, was promoted to the said post w.e.f. 01.01.2005. The petitioner states that as he completed 26 years of service in the feeder category by 01.11.1998, having regard to the proceedings dated 20.04.1999, issued by the respondents, he was entitled to be promoted w.e.f. 01.12.1998, and the action of the respondents in promoting him w.e.f. 01.01.2005, is illegal and arbitrary. He submits that though he made representations dated 19.07.2005 and 03.02.2006 to the respondents to give him promotion w.e.f. 01.12.1998, no action thereon has been taken by the respondents. Hence he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Solicitor General for the respondents. Inasmuch as the representations dated 19.07.2005 and 03.02.2006, said to have been made by the petitioners to the respondents are pending, without going into the merits of the matter, I deep it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with following directions: The respondents are directed to consider and dispose of the representations dated 19.07.2005 and 03.02.2006 and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 5th April, 2007. KSR
