TO JUDGE tss P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)Nos. 16857 of 2007 ---------------------------- Dated 20th January, 2010 JUDGMENT The main relief sought in this writ petition is to direct respondents 2 and 3 to give retrospective promotion to the petitioner as Junior Inspector, in implementation of the directions issued by the Government in Ext.P7 letter. By Ext.P7, the Government directed the Registrar of Co-operative Societies to extend to the petitioner the benefits given to Sri.K.R.Ashok Kumar and Sri.E.Nisamudeen, who are immediate seniors of the petitioner in the matter of promotion as Junior Inspector/Auditor. In W.P.(C)No.37978 of 2007 filed by Sri.K.R.Ashok Kumar, who is admittedly senior to the petitioner, this Court had by judgment delivered on 17.7.2008 directed the Registrar of Co-operative Societies to give effect to the direction issued by the Government similar to the one contained in Ext.P7 herein. In the light of the said direction, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Registrar of Co- operative Societies to give effect to the direction issued by the Government in Ext.P7 letter by passing appropriate orders in the matter within two months from the date on which the petitioner produces a certified copy of this judgment before him. If the petitioner WP(C).No.16857/2007 2 has any other grievance, he may move the Registrar of Co-operative Societies seeking redressal of the same. The Registrar of Co-operative Societies shall while taking a decision in the matter have due regard to the decision taken by him in the case of Sri.K.R.Ashok Kumar and the directions issued by this Court in W.P.(C)No.37978 of 2007.
