No.22338 OF 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 29th day of August, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Field Worker at District Vector Control Unit, Palakkad. The grievance of the petitioner is with respect to the inaction on the part of the respondent in considering his claim for promotion to the post of Junior Health Inspector Grade-II. According to the petitioner, he is the seniormost Field Worker eligible for promotion to the aforesaid post and, the appointment of another person as Junior Health Inspector Grade-II was cancelled as per Ext.P6. The petitioner relies on Ext.P6 to contend that there is vacancy in the post of Junior Health Inspector Grade-II. Feeling aggrieved by the delay in the matter of consideration of his promotion despite the existence of vacancies, the petitioner has preferred Exts.P7 and P8 representations before the respondent. Considering the fact that the said representations are pending, I am of the view that the claim of the petitioner has to be looked into by the respondent. In that view of the matter, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P7 & P8 representations expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
