SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.9746 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of March, 2011 JUDGMENT Although the petitioner, an employee of the Department of Panchayat, was promoted as Lower Division Clerk, the petitioner has not been given annual increments in the promoted post. Therefore, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 representation before the 3rd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously. 2. In the nature of the order I propose to pass I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 3rd respondent at the present juncture. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
