NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (Oral) The petitioner herein seeks for issuance of direction to respondents No.1 and 2 to promote him as Junior Engineer and J.E.- I w.e.f. the date his juniors were promoted and to grant him all consequential benefits. On 3.5.2011, this Court was pleased to pass following order: “As per the counsel for the petitioner, only part of the claim which left now to be determined is in regard to the date of his promotion. As per the petitioner, once the petitioner is found eligible he would have to be promoted from the date his juniors were promoted. For this he has also filed representation, which is pending adjudication with the respondents. Let the appropriate C.W.P No.345 of 2010 -2- order be passed on the representation. In case need be, further issues can be decided.” In spite of the above directions, learned counsel for the respondents states that the petitioner be directed to file a fresh representation which the Department shall accordingly consider. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, has expressed apprehension that in view of the stand taken in the written statement, the respondent-department might reject the case of the petitioner on the ground that bio-data of the petitioner was received after 31.7.2005. It was further submitted that the said objection was not based on correct facts. Heard. In view of the order dated 3.5.2011 passed by this Court as well as the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to file comprehensive representation to respondents No.1 and 2 within two weeks from today which shall be considered by the department within one month thereafter. Needless to say that in case the claim of the petitioner is accepted, the promotion shall be granted forthwith and in case the claim of the petitioner is rejected, the department shall pass a speaking order. 13.9.2011 ( NIRMALJIT KAUR ) rajeev JUDGE
