The grievance of the petitioner is that inspite of the fact that he is Graduate Trained Teacher, he has not been granted promotion after completing eight years as per the Elementary Teachers Promotion Rules, 1993. He submits that there are no legal impediments if such promotion is given to the petitioner since he is entitled in accordance with law. This Court finds substances in the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. If he is entitled to any promotion under the Rules itself, the respondent authority is obliged to consider his case and pass appropriate orders. Consideration for the same cannot be kept pending for an indefinite period. Accordingly, this Court directs the respondent no. 6 to consider the case of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders 2 in accordance with law within two months from the date of production/receipt of a copy of this order upon him. It is needless to say that if the petitioner is found entitled to it and such promotion is granted, and then he shall be entitled to all consequential benefits flowing from such date. This writ petition accordingly stands allowed to the extent indicated above. Sudha ( Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
