The petitioner is working as Armed Police Sub Inspector, KAP- 4 Battalion, Mangattuparamba. It is contended that if he is given promotion as Armed Police Sub Inspector with effect from the date of occurrence of vacancy, i.e.13.3.1988, instead of 9.9.1988, he will be able to work out his service prospects which would bring more benefits to him and will avoid stagnation in service. The question whether the petitioner is entitled to get assignment of promotion with effect from 13.3.1988 has to be considered, primarily, by the first respondent with reference to relevant records in the light of Ext.P4 representation pending with him. Earlier, another petition (Ext.P2 representation) which he had filed was forwarded to the first respondent as per Ext.P3. 2. The first respondent will look into Exts.P2, P3 and P4 and take appropriate decision and communicate the same to the petitioner within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. Ordered accordingly. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the W.P.(C)No. 281/2007 2 judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance.
