The grievance of the petitioner who is a driver of the K.S.R.T.C. is that even after he rejoined service after expiry of the leave which he had availed without allowance for taking up employment abroad, his seniority has been overlooked in the matter of giving promotions. I do not propose to examine the genuineness of the above grievance. Ext.P1 representation has been submitted by the petitioner before the Managing Director of the K.S.R.T.C. The Managing Director of the K.S.R.T.C. will take up Ext.P1, hear the petitioner and take a decision on Ext.P1 at the earliest and at any rate within two months of receiving a copy of this judgment together with a copy of the Writ Petition and all the exhibits. It is open to the petitioner to place before the respondent all judicial precedents upon which the petitioner relies for seeking relief. The Writ Petition will stand disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
