No. 18043 OF 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 29th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Junior Consultant under the Health Services Department. The grievance of the petitioner is against Ext.P4 order whereby his juniors were promoted to the post of Consultant. Raising grievances against Ext.P4, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P5 representation before the second respondent, the Director of Health Services. Since Ext.P4 was passed by the Government, obviously, the second respondent is incompetent to entertain grievances against the same. Therefore, when the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that liberty may be granted to the petitioner to move the Government by raising grievances against Ext.P4. In view of the fact that Ext.P4 order was passed by the Government, I am of the view that any grievance against the same has to be raised before the Government. In that view of the matter, this Writ Petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to move the Government in case he is aggrieved by Ext.P4 order. In case the petitioner files a representation carrying his objections and claims, the same shall be considered by the first respondent expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from W.P.(C).No.18043 of 2011 2 the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioner and also to the persons who are likely to be affected.
