SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 5984 OF 2010 W ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th February, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as the Branch Manager of the second respondent. He claims that by virtue of his seniority he is entitled to be posted as the Executive Officer. However, overlooking his claims his juniors have been promoted. According to the petitioner, his promotion was denied on the wrong assumption that a further relaxation of the qualifications was required for his promotion as an Executive Officer. The petitioner relies on Exts.P4 and P5 issued by the first respondent to contend that further relaxation of the qualification is not required. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P6 representation before the second respondent. However, no action has been taken on Ext.P6 till date. The petitioner, therefore, seeks appropriate directions to dispose of Ext.P6 without further delay. The Govt. Pleader assures that action would be taken on Ext.P6 expeditiously. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner evidenced herein by Ext.P6, in accordance with law and the qualifications contained in Exts.P4 and P5 and to pass WPC5984/2010 2 orders thereon as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
