SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.3068 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by delay in promotion. According to the petitioner although he is entitled to promotion in preference to his juniors, his juniors have been promoted without promoting the petitioner. According to the petitioner, the petitioner is also entitled to benefits of Ext.P3 judgment of this Court passed in the case of a similarly situated employee. Detailing these grievances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P2 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of the same. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Before passing orders the 1st respondent shall afford an W.P.(c) No.3068/08 2 opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and other employees, who may be likely to be affected by a favourable order to the petitioner in Ext.P2. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c) No.3068/08 3
