The Court made the following : THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.BIKSHAPATHY AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.10389 OF 2004 ORDER: (Per G.Bikshapathy, J) This writ petition is filed against the order passed by the A.P.Administrative Tribunal (for short ‘the Tribunal’) in O.A.No.2776 of 1999 dated 29.03.2004. 2. The petitioner filed the above O.A. seeking promotion to the post of Sub Inspector of Police in the District cadre of Kurnool. It is the case of the petitioner that he was working as Head Constable and he was sent on deputation as Head Constable to A.P.T.S.P.S (Vigilance), A.P.S.E.B. Thereafter, he was promoted as Sub Inspector of Police as there were vacancies. The grievance of the petitioner is that the juniors to him were promoted as Sub Inspectors, and therefore the petitioner ought to be promoted. The Tribunal, after considering the matter, dismissed the O.A. Against the said dismissal order, the present writ petition is filed. 3. We have heard the learned Government Pleader for Services-I and also the learned Counsel for the petitioner. 4. After perusing the order of the Tribunal, we are not inclined to interfere with it. However, since the petitioner made a representation on 07.01.1999 seeking appropriate relief, we find it desirable that the said representation has to be disposed of one way or the other. 5. Accordingly, while dismissing the writ petition, respondents 2 and 3 are directed to consider the representation dated 07.01.1999 filed by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders, if not already passed, within a period of 6 (SIX) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _________________ (G.BIKSHAPATHY, J) Dated: 24th June, 2004. ______________________ (B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J) *ak Copies To 1.The Hon’ble Sri Justice G.Bikshapathy (for His Lordship’s kind perusal). 2.The Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Seshasayana Reddy (for His Lordship’s kind perusal). 3.The Secretary, Government of A.P., Home (Police), Secretariat, Hyderabad-500 022. 4.The Director General of Police, Andhra Pradesh, Lakidikapool, Hyderabad. 5.The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Kurnool Range, Kurnool. 6.The Superintendent of Police, Kurnool District, Kurnool. 7.Two CCs to the learned Government Pleader for Services-I, High Court buildings, Hyderabad (O.U.T). 8.Two CD copies.
