IN THE HIGH COURT F UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 286 of 2007 (S/S) Umesh Chandra Sexena S/o Sri Harish Chandra Sexena Accountant, Sampurna Nand Camp Jail, Sitar Ganj Attached Inspector General Jails, Uttarakhand at Dehradun ………Petitioner Versus 1. State of Uttarakhand through Principal Secretary, Home/ Jail, Government of Uttarakhand at Dehradun. 2. Inspector General (Prisons), Uttarakhand at Dehradun ……………Respondents Hon’ble M.M.Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri Anurag Bisaria, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing counsel for the respondents. Counsel for the parties are agreed that the writ petition may be decided at the admission stage itself. By means of this writ petition, the petition has prayed for the following relier:- 1. To issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to grant the desigmation of post of accountant and the pay scale of Rs. 570-1100 to the petitioner w.e.f. the date of his appointment with all consequential benefits arising thereof including the arrears and full back wages. 2. To issue any other writ, order or direction which this Hon’ble Court deems just and proper in the circumstances of the case. 3. To award the cost of the petition to the petitioner. During the course of argument, learned counsel for the petition has submitted that he has already moved a representation dated 18th November, 2006 before the Inspector General (Jail), Uttaranchal, Dehradun for redressal of his grievances. However, the same is still pending with the Inspector General of Police and no action has been taken by respondent no. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has confined his pray that the respondent no. 2 be directed to take decision on the representation of the petitioner within a prescribed period fixed by this Court. The prayer is innocuous. Consequently, I direct the respondent no. 2 to take decision on the representation of the petitioner dated 18th November, 2006 filed as Annexure 8 to the writ petition within a period of three months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With this direction, the writ petition as well as interim relief application no. nil of 2007 is finally disposed of. 03.04.2007 (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) VKS
