No.12341 of 2010 (P) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 4th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as an Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector in the Motor Vehicles Department. Ext.P1 is the select list for the year 2008 for promotion to the post of Motor Vehicle Inspector, in which the petitioner's name was not included. Claiming that his name ought to have been included and seeking revision of Ext.P1, the petitioner filed Ext.P2 representation before the 1st respondent. Subsequently, Ext.P3 select list for the year 2009 was issued, where the petitioner's name was included. Despite this, promotions were not effected, and therefore, this writ petition was filed. 2. During the pendency of this writ petition, Ext.P7 select list for the year 2010 has been published. The petitioner complains that in this select list also his name is again excluded. Aggrieved by Ext.P7 insofar as his name is not included, he has filed Ext.P8 representation before the 1st respondent, and that again is not dealt WP(C) No.12341/2010 -2- with. It is in these circumstances this writ petition is came up for consideration. 3. In view of the above nature of the grievance that the petitioner has highlighted, all that is required to be done is that Exts.P2 & P8 representations filed by the petitioner should be considered, and needful should be done by the 2nd respondent by convening an adhoc DPC. Having regard to the pendency of the complaints as above, I dispose of the writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to take action on Exts.P2 & P8. This shall be done, if necessary, by convening an adhoc DPC, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Needless to say that any promotion effected in the meantime will be subject to the claims of the petitioner. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
