NO. 1269 OF 2007 A -------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th January, 2007 JUDGMENT Case of petitioner, in brief, is as follows: He entered service under the respondents on 1.7.1992 and he is working as Workshop Assistant. As he was stagnating in the post awaiting promotion, he was given ten years' higher grade with effect from 1.4.2003. It is stated that as per Ext.P2, ten per cent of the vacancies stand reserved for internal promotion of IHRD employees to various higher posts. It is stated that in the post of Technician Grade II (Electrical)/ Workshop Instructor Grade II (Electrical), there are vacancies remaining unfilled. It is stated that there are no qualified Trade Instructors/Tradesmen available for being considered for internal promotion and, therefore, the petitioner has got a right to be considered for promotion to the post of Technician Grade II (Electrical)/Workshop Instructor Grade II (Electrical). According to petitioner, there are vacancies indicated in Ext.P4 WP(C) 1269/07 A 2 and the petitioner is not being considered. Petitioner has any way addressed Exts.P5 and P6 representations and they are pending consideration before second respondent. In such circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider and take a decision on Exts.P5 and P6 in accordance with law, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment.
