The petitioner's case appears to have been excluded from the zone of consideration but the same has been later on forwarded vide Memo dated 18.11.2008 [Annexure P-8] followed by a reminder sent on 9.7.2009 [Annexure P-9]. No decision, however, has been taken so far. In these circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 2 to consider the claim of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Head Master w.e.f. the date his junior was allegedly promoted, within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is received. Suffice it to say that in case the petitioner is found entitled, he shall also be paid all the consequential benefits within the afore-stated period. Dasti. March 22, 2010. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
