Subsequently he was promoted as Circle Inspector of Police and as Deputy Superintendent of Police. Pursuant to Ext.P1 order of promotion as Deputy Superintendent of Police, the petitioner joined duty on 6-06-2005. The petitioner has already crossed the age of 50 years. He is therefore exempted from passing the Executive Officers' test for declaration of probation. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has passed the Executive Officers' test also subsequently. The petitioner's grievance now is that the petitioner's probation is not being declared even after successful completion of probation. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the question of declaration of probation of the petitioner and pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
