(Oral) In all these writ petitions, the issue pertains to the claim made by the petitioners for promotion to the post of Principal (School Cadre). It is the contention of the 2 petitioners that the juniors in the cadre have been promoted. There is no reply as yet. 2. We are of the view that the matter requires consideration by the second respondent with notice to the petitioner concerned. Therefore, all these writ petitions are disposed of as follows: 3. There will be a direction to the second respondent to look into the grievances of the petitioners with notice to the petitioners and take appropriate action thereon in accordance with law. This shall be done within a period of four months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition by the petitioner concerned. It is made clear that in case any promotion has been made of any junior after any of the petitioners has become qualified, appropriate orders shall also be passed for restitution of this benefit. 4. The writ petitions are disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 19th November, 2010 (Justice V.K. Sharma), (tr) Judge.
