J U D G M E N T The petitioners are Mechanical Engineering (Diploma) holders. They initially joined service as last grade servants. Subsequently, they were promoted as Workshop Attenders. The petitioners claim that they are entitled to be promoted to the next higher post of Junior Instructors. According to them, their claims are not being considered by the respondents without any justification. Though the petitioners have submitted representations detailing their grievances, they complain that no orders have been passed thereon till date. Exts.P4 and P5 are the representations submitted by the petitioners 1 and 2. Though the 3rd petitioner has also submitted a similar representation, it is submitted that copy of the same is not available with the 3rd petitioner. The petitioners seek the issue of appropriate directions for consideration of their grievances. WP(C).No. 25949/2011-P. 2 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In view of the fact that the grievance of the petitioners are pending consideration of the respondents, I do not consider it necessary to go into the merits of their claims at this stage. It is sufficient that their representations are directed to be considered by the respondents. 4. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the grievances of the petitioners set out in their representations evidenced herein by Exts.P4 and P5, as well as the representation by the 3rd petitioner, copy of which is not produced, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
