Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 1426 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 25th day of January, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is presently a Tutor in MLT in the Medical Education Service of the Government of Kerala. She aspires for promotion to the post of Assistant Professor (MLT) (Pathology) (Non- medical). The DPC convened for the purpose of preparing the select list for promotion included the junior of the petitioner in the select list. The petitioner therefore submitted Ext. P9 representation before the 2nd respondent objecting to the non-inclusion of the petitioner in the select list. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P9 expeditiously. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the contention of the petitioner that the person selected is junior to the petitioner is not correct. I am not going into that question because it is for the 2nd respondent to consider the same in the first instance while disposing of Ext. P9. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P9 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
