TO JUDGE. svs K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.32190 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of December 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Driver Senior Civil Police Officer (Former Driver Head Constable). He was appointed as a Driver Police Constable on 5.1.1999. Thereafter, his probation was declared in the post and he was given time bound higher grade promotion. Since the employees were stagnating in the cadre of Driver Constables, requests were made to the Government to include the post of Driver Constables having Diploma in Automobile Engineering as a feeder category for promotion to the higher post of Motor Transport Sub Inspector. However, though the Government has issued special rules as per Ext.P5 Government order, Havildar Motor Mechanic is made the only feeder category for promotion to the post of Motor Transport Sub Inspector. The petitioner is seriously aggrieved by the non-inclusion of Driver Civil Police Officer as a feeder category. The WPC No.32190 of 2011 2 petitioner has, therefore, submitted Ext.P8 representation, which is pending before the second respondent. He seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P8. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. Since Ext.P8 is pending consideration of the second respondent, it is only appropriate that the said authority considers the claims of the petitioner in accordance with law. 4. This writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the claims of the petitioner set out in his representation, evidenced herein by Ext.P8, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
