It is further contended that the petitioner was considered for promotional posts of Assistant Sub- Inspector of Police in the year 2001 and his name was also empaneled in the select list.

It is submitted that the petitioner has been acquitted by the criminal court vide judgment and order dt.29.5.2009. It is submitted that thereafter the petitioner submitted two representations dated 4.12.2009 and 7.12.2009. However, till this date no decision has been taken by the competent authority.

It is no doubt true that in absence of respondents, the court should not show indulgence in the matter. However, in the instant case, this court does not have to adjudicate upon any issue raised in the petition and the grievance of the petitioner made in the representations is required to be considered by the competent authority of the respondents on its own merits and in accordance with law. It is in this situation, we dispose of the petition with a direction to the competent authority of the respondents to consider the representations of the petitioner if not already decided, in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard at the earliest in any case not beyond a period of four months from the date of communication of this order. Writ petition disposed of accordingly. D.D.SINHA, J MRS MRIDULA BHATKAR, J
