Mr. Mahendra Singh Pal, learned Senir Advocate, assisted by Mr. Umesh Kalakoti, learned counsel for the petitioners. Mr. H.M. Raturi, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent no. 1 and 2. Mr. Manoj Tiwari, learned counsel for the respondent no. 3. Mr. R.P. Nautiyal, learned counsel for the respondent no. 4. None appears for respondent Mr. Subhash Upadhyay, learned counsel for respondent no. 6. None appears for respondent no. 5. 25th July, 2008 Hon’ble P.C. Verma, J. By means of present writ petition, petitioners have challenged the order dated 18th August, 2004 so far as it relates to promotion of the respondents no. 3 to 6 (Annexure No. 2 to the writ petition). Further prayer has been made for a writ of mandamus directing the respondent no. 2 to promote the petitioners to the post of Nayab Tehsildar. Today, the petitioners have confined their prayer that they may be given an opportunity to file a fresh representation stating their grievances before the competent authority and the same may be decided within a stipulated time. Prayer appears innocuous. Petitioners are permitted to file a fresh representation stating their grievances regarding promotion to the post of Nayab Tehsildar. If such a representation is filed, the competent authority shall decide the same in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of its filing. With the aforesaid direction, writ petition is disposed of finally. No order as to costs. (P.C. Verma, J.) 25.7.2008 Rathour
