Keeping in view the nature of relief claimed and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioner was initially appointed as J.B.T Teacher on ad hoc basis on 28.1.1975. Her services were regularized w.e.f. 1.1.1980. Petitioner was subsequently promoted to the post of Head Teacher but due to her health problems she could not join on the promoted post. Consequently, respondents promoted some juniors of petitioner as Head Teachers. It is stated that petitioner is entitled to be promoted even after one year of foregone promotion as per the policy formulated by the State Govt. Petitioner has served a legal notice (Annexure P-3) claiming her promotion from the date her juniors were promoted. The grievance of the petitioner is that till date her legal notice is pending and no decision has been taken thereon. CWP. No. 7108 of 2010 -2- Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied, if, respondents are directed to take decision on the legal notice served by the petitioner, referred to above. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.1 to take decision on the legal notice served by the petitioner within a period of three months from the date certified copy of this order is served upon the said respondent. Needless to say that in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, the same shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 22.4.2010. lucky
