Her probation has been declared on 3.10.2009. She is eligible for promotion to the post of Assistant Engineer. Juniors of the petitioner have been given promotion overlooking the petitioner's seniority as per Ext.P2 seniority list, is the grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition. The petitioner has, therefore, filed Ext.P5 representation before the 1st respondent, who is the convenor of the Departmental Promotion Committee. The petitioner now confines her relief for a direction to the Departmental Promotion Committee to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent shall place Ext.P5 before the Departmental Promotion Committee and the Departmental Promotion Committee shall consider and pass orders on the same, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
