KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- O.P.No.33307/02 & W.P.(C)No.14 of 2006 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 26th February, 2007. J U D G M E N T The issue raised in these writ petitions essentially pertains to the claim made by the petitioner for promotion to the posts of Medical Records Librarian Grade II, Medical Records Librarian Grade I and Medical Record Superintendent. It is the contention of the petitioner that in view of Ext.P7 (in W.P.(C) No.14/2006) Bench decision of this Court in W.A.No.2328 of 2002, in the light of which several similarly situated persons have been granted the relief, pursuant to the directions issued by this Court in the judgment dated 26.9.2006 in W.P.(C)No.6595/06, the petitioner also is entitled to succeed. In that view of the matter, I do not think it necessary to go into the merits of the case since the petitioner has represented her grievance before the Director of Medical Education by way of Ext.P6 representation in the former writ petition(Ext.P5 in the latter). Therefore, these writ petitions are disposed of directing the first respondent to look into those representations with notice to the petitioner and the party respondents in both writ petitions, and pass appropriate OP NO.33307/02& WP 14/06 2 orders without discriminating the petitioner, within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
