PLEADER SHRI.SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 15780 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 13th day of June, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that although the period of probation of the petitioner in the cadre of Executive Engineer is already over long ago, no orders regarding declaration of probation of the petitioner have been issued yet. Therefore, the petitioner has filed Exts.P5 and P6 representations in this regard before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 and P6 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 and P6, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. I also note the contention of the petitioner that despite a direction issued by this Court in that regard, the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner have not been taken to its logical conclusion yet.
