Reference is made in this regard to Ext.P10 communication which makes it clear that a further reference to the Government is not required on the part of the Heads of the Department for implementing the revised ratio for ratio promotion. Statement has been filed on behalf of the second respondent as directed by this Court. It is stated therein that the delay in implementing the revised ratio for ratio promotion as contemplated by Ext.P1 Government Order in the Registration Department is on account of the delay in the preparation of District wise seniority list of class IV employees. Once such seniority list is published, ratio promotion will be given for class IV employees at the W.P.(C). 2 earliest. Paragraph 3 of the statement reads as follows:- “It is submitted that, to implement the promotion of class IV employees in Registration Department, at least six months time is necessary.” Statement as such is recorded and writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to see that Ext.P1 order is implemented in so far the Registration Department is concerned, as early as possible, at any rate, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
