Ext.P1 is the order declaring her probation with effect from 19.06.2008. According to the petitioner, her next cadre of promotion is Assistant Superintendent to which post she is eligible and is qualified. However, she apprehends that, for want of seniority list in the cadre of General Foreman, her name would not be considered. 2. In the above circumstances, she has filed Exts.P2 and P3 representations to the 2nd respondent to regularize her promotion. She has also filed Ext.P4 praying for publication of the seniority list. It is stated that these representations are pending. In this writ petition, petitioner seeks an order requiring the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 to P4. 3. In the light of the facts as stated above, I am satisfied that the petitioner is justified in seeking the aforesaid prayer. 4. Therefore the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P2 to P4, if these representations have been received and are pending. WPC 38113/08 :2 : Order shall be passed as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
