JUDGMENT The petitioner filed this writ petition when he was in service as Assistant District Industries Officer. He was aggrieved by the denial of due promotions to him, in spite of educational and other qualifications. During the pendency of the writ petition, he retired on 31.08.2007. What, therefore, survives is only the issue of notional promotion with consequential reliefs which may reflect on his retirement benefits. 2.

In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P6 and P8 representations filed by the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner or any other duly authorised representative shall be heard by the 2nd respondent before a decision was taken on Ext.P6 and P8. The writ petition is disposed of as above. V. GIRI, JUDGE. rv
