The petitioners are working as Crafts Instructors in the Industrial Training Institutes run by the respondent-department. It is their case that they possess Diploma in Engineering and are entitled to be promoted against the quota meant for Diploma Holders. In this regard, the petitioners are said to have represented the authorities through their representations dated 27.1.2010, 3.2.2010 and 8.2.2010 (annexures P-4 to C.W.P.No .2341 of 2010 (O&M) 2 P-7). However, without awaiting the outcome of their afore-stated representations, they have approached this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought for in this writ petition but without expressing any views on the merits thereof, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the claim of the petitioners as contained in their representations and disposed of the same as early as possible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
