THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (S/S) No. 974 of 2008. Dayal Singh Panwar, presently posted as Driver Office of Assistant Director Fisheries, Uttarkashi. … Petitioner. Vs. State of Uttarakhand and others. …Respondents. Mr. Dinesh Gahtori, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Subhash Upadhyay, Brief Holder for the respondents-State. Date August 25, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to adjust the petitioner on the post of driver Grade-I in pursuance of the Government Order dated 3-7-2006 and 22-8-2007 (Annexure No. 1 and 3). The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner is entitled to be adjusted against the vacancies of Driver Grade-I as per Government Order No. 108/XXVII(7)/2006 dated 3-7-2006 because the petitioner had already completed more than three years in the pay scale of Rs. 4500-7000/-, therefore, the petitioner is entitled to the pay scale of Driver Grade I i.e. Rs. 5000-8000/-. In the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that the representation made by the petitioner to the authority concerned dated 21-1-2008 (Annexure-5 to the writ petition) is still pending for disposal. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that liberty be given to the petitioner to make a fresh representation and the authority concerned be directed to decide the representation of the petitioner by a speaking and reasoned order. Prayer is innocuous. 2 Considering the fact that the representation was earlier made by the petitioner in the year 2008 (Annexure-5 to the petition), the petitioner is given liberty to make a fresh representation to the respondent-authorities. If the representation is made by the petitioner, the respondent-authorities are directed to decide the representation of the petitioner expeditiously preferably within a period of eight weeks by a reasoned and speaking order from the date of production of a certified copy of this order along with the representation. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
