JUDGMENT Petitioner a Head Clerk in the Revenue Department faces reversion for want of pass in the Chain Survey Test. Petitioner's contention is that the petitioner was promoted years before the new Government order making pass in Chain Survey Test compulsory for promotion. Petitioner has therefore filed Ext.P5 representation before the second respondent. Petitioner seeks disposal of Ext.P5 expeditiously and stay of reversion till orders are passed. 2.I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Till orders are passed on Ext.P5 the petitioner shall not be reverted from the present post. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. mns
