GOVT.PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/12/2009, ALONG WITH WPC NO.35966/09, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NOs. 34931 & 34966 OF 2009 ========================== Dated this the 4th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioners in these writ petitions are Ist Grade Overseers in the Local Self Government Department. They aspire for promotion to the post of Assistant Engineer. In so far as the petitioner in WP(C) No.34931/09 is concerned, it is stated that for the reason of pendency of two disciplinary actions, she is not being considered for promotion. In so far as the petitioner in WP (C) No.34966/09 is concerned, according to the petitioner, for the reason that a compliant was made against him, he is not being considered for promotion. 2. The case of the petitioners is that, inspite of the above, they are entitled to be considered for promotion. It is seen that this claim they have already urged by filing Ext.P3 in these writ petitions before the respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that even the representations are not considered. 3. Having regard to the above, I feel at this stage, the grievance of the petitioners will be redressed if the WPC Nos.34931 & 34966/09 :2 : representations referred to above are dealt with by the respondent. Therefore, I dispose of these writ petitions directing the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of these writ petitions. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
