The contention of the petitioner is that if the respondents are going to effect temporary promotion in terms of Rule 31(a)(1) of Kerala Civil Services(Classification, Control & Appeal)Rules(for short the 'Rules') and fill up the vacancies in the cadre of Divisional Accountant in excess of the prescribed ratio, it will harm his prospects for getting a berth in service in case, he is selected and included in the rank list after recruitment process now initiated by the Public Service Commission. I am of the view that this writ petition is premature. It will be open to the petitioner to pursue the grievance at the appropriate time. Reserving the said right this writ petition is dismissed.
