ADV.SRI.M.K.CHANDRA MOHAN DAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.19050 Of 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners are working as Library Assistants/Laboratory Assistants in various institutions under the first respondent. A quota of 20% has been set apart for internal promotion to higher cadre. The contention of the petitioners is that in terms of the relevant provisions, the second respondent has invited for submission of details as per Ext.P5 circular dated 26.10.2009 for the purpose of filling up the vacancies falling under the quota for internal promotions. Immediately thereafter, Ext.P7 notification has also been issued on 13.1.2010. The apprehension of the petitioners is that the respondents have issued Ext.P7 notification to fill up the vacancies available in their quota as well. It is in the said circumstances that this Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioners. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as also the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submitted that Ext.P7 notification is intended only for effecting direct recruitment that too, against the prescribed quota and, therefore, it would not hamper W.P.(C) NO.19050/2010 2 the selection process already initiated as per Ext.P5 circular. In short, the proceedings initiated as per Ext.P5 circular for promotion under the aforesaid 20% quota would be completed. The above submission is recorded. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the respondents to complete the process of internal promotion initiated as per Ext.P5 expeditiously. This Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (C.T.
