But his promotion is delayed despite occurrence of vacancies is the grievance in this writ petition. He earlier filed a writ petition despite which no final decision is taken in the matter. Therefore the petitioner filed Exts.P22 & P23 before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P22 & P23 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P22 & P23 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. W.P.(C)No. 7832 of 2010 -2- 3. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/
