WA 330/2007 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE A.K. GOEL THEHON’BLE MR. JUSTICE N. KOTISWAR SINGH This appeal has been preferred against the order of learned single Judge dismissing the writ petition of the appellant against denial of promotion to hi m and grant of promotion to the private respondents. The appellant was one of the candidates for promotion to the post of Sup erintendent but after considering his profile alongwith the profile of the priva te respondents, he was not granted promotion and the private respondents were gr anted promotion. Learned single Judge after perusing the records and considering the riva l submissions of the learned counsel for the parties held that the denial of pro motion to the appellant was not arbitrary or illegal and promotion of the privat e respondents was valid and justified. We have heard learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the appellant states that irrespective of merits of his contention, since the respondent Nos. 6 and 7 have already retired, only rel ief which is required to be pressed is to allow the appellant to make a represen tation to the respondents for promotion against available vacancy which may be considered in accordance with law, within a reasonable time. Though the respondent society which a State Government controlled body i s not represented today, learned counsel for the State of Assam has no objection to the relief pressed being granted. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, we dispose of this appeal with liberty to the appellant to make an appropriate representation for being c onsidered for promotion against the vacant post and with liberty to the concerne d respondent authorities to take appropriate decision in the matter within a per iod of two months from the date of receipt of this order.
