J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an Assistant Sub Inspector in Armed Reserve Camp at Thripunithura. The petitioner aspires for promotion to the post of Reserve Sub Inspector. The petitioner has been overlooked for such promotion on the ground that disciplinary proceedings are pending against the petitioner. According to the petitioner, by virtue of his seniority, the petitioner is eligible to be promoted in the selection made for the year 2008 as the second person, which has not been given to the petitioner. The petitioner further submits that the disciplinary proceedings have been finalised by Ext. P3 order in which the petitioner has been exonerated from the charges. Therefore, according to the petitioner, the petitioner is entitled to all the promotions due to the petitioner, which was held up on account of the pendency of the disciplinary proceedings. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Ext. P4 representation before the 3rd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Sd/- S.
