According to the petitioner, his claims are overlooked for the reason that he is an accused in criminal case. It is submitted that mere pendency of criminal case is not a bar for considering for promotion. It is seen that the petitioner has urged this claim by filing Ext.P4 before the 2nd respondent and the complaint is that even Ext.P4 has not been considered. 2. Having regard to the pendency of Ext.P4, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to consider the said representation in the light of the judgment of this Court in Suresh v. Public Service Commission (2008(2) KLT 441). This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
