NO. 27300 OF 2008 Y -------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th September, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner aspires for the post of Government Analyst. It is a selection post. According to petitioner, it is for the reason that his probation was not declared, that he is not included in the select list for the post. Learned Government Pleader does not admit this. Counsel for petitioner points out that the petitioner has only a little over one year to retire. He further points out that the list has not been published. He, however, submits that by Order dated 4.9.2008 which is produced as Ext.P11, petitioner's probation has been declared with effect from 7.1.2008 in the cadre of Deputy Government Analyst. The Writ Petition is disposed of as follows: If the petitioner files a representation within a period of three days from today before the third respondent and also produces Ext.P11, a decision will be taken thereon by the third respondent in accordance with law. I make it abundantly clear WPC.27300/08 Y 2 that I have not expressed any view either on the maintainability of the representation or on the merits of the representation. A decision will be taken within ten days from the date of filing the representation. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. //True copy// PS to Judge
