In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondent is directed to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Deputy Executive Engineer on regular basis along with others and appoint him as such, if he is otherwise eligible as per law. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. _____________ (C.V.RAMULU, J) 5th September 2008 RRB
