JUDGMENT The petitioner seeks promotion to the post of Junior Co-operative Inspector. He was initially appointed as Lower Division Clerk on 18.1.2008 and was promoted as Upper Division Clerk on 12.1.2010. Going by Ext.P1, he has acquired the qualification B.Com degree with Co- operation as optional subject. The petitioner is serial No.16 in the provisional seniority list published by the second respondent for promotion to the post of Junior Co-operative Inspector. 2. The petitioner is relying upon various judgments of this Court, produced as Exts.P3 to P5, wherein it is declared that B.Com with Co- operation is a valid and sufficient qualification for promotion to the post of Junior Co-operative Inspector. The present grievance raised by the petitioner is that his juniors, viz. Mr. Lineesh and Mr. Joby were subsequently promoted based on the judgments of this Court, but the claim of the petitioner has not been considered. Seeking for such a relief, the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation before the second respondent. 3. It is upto the second respondent to take a decision on Ext.P6, in the wpc 19246/2011 2 light of the judgments of this Court, viz. Exts.P3 to P5. The second respondent will consider the same and communicate the decision to the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the second respondent for compliance. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
