Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.T.S.ANAND Counsel for the Respondents: MR.G.MANOHAR, G.P. for Revenue The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners. The only grievance of the petitioners was that the Government was not framing the promotion policy for the employees of the respondent-Corporation. In the additional counter-affidavit filed by the General Manager (Excise), it is submitted that National Productivity Council had been approached for preparation of a policy and they have given a report, which was considered by the Board of Directors on 22-02-2003. The Board of Directors constituted a committee to go through the report. Final representations were made to the Government on 7-4-2003 and the Corporation is awaiting orders of the Government. Since, the matter is pending for the last ten years, the respondents have obtained a report from National Productivity Council, and the High Power Committee has also gone through the report and made recommendations to the Government which are pending for more than a year. Therefore, I dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to take a final view of the matter within a period of six months from today. No costs. ------------------- 2nd September, 2004 LUR Copy to: 1.The Chairman, A.P.Bevarages Corporation Ltd., 11-5-423/1/A, Seetharama Mansion, Lak-di-ka pool, Hyderabad. 2.The M.D., A.P.Beverages Corporation Ltd., 11-5-423/1/A, Seetharama Mansion, Lakdikapool, Hyderabad. 3.The Board of Directors, A.P.Beverages Corporation Ltd., 11-5-423/1/A, Seetharama Mansion, Lakdikapool, Hyderabad. 4.The Prl.
