Negi, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Sri Paresh Tripathi, learned standing counsel for State of Uttaranchal on behalf of respondent nos. 1 to 3. Learned counsel for both the parties are agreed to decide the writ petition at its admission stage itself. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that petitioners are working as Constable (Driver) since long time. Some of the petitioners have joined the service in the year 1969. Juniors to the petitioners have already been promoted to the post of Head Constable vide order dated 4.9.2005, however, petitioners have not been promoted though they have unblemished service record of Constable (Driver) to their credit. 2 Regarding their grievance, petitioners have already moved representation on 20.01.2006 which is addressed to Director General of Police, Uttaranchal (Annexure No. 2 to the writ petition). During the course of argument learned counsel for the petitioners has confined his prayer that respondent no. 2 be directed to decide petitioners’ representation dated 20.01.2006 within a particular period. The prayer in innocuous. Consequently, I direct the respondent no. 2 i.e. Director General of Police, Uttaranchal to decide the representation of the petitioners’ dated 20.01.2006 with speaking order within a period of six weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With this direction the writ petition is finally disposed of. No order as to costs. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J) May 23, 2006 SKSharma
