RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE JV K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.34141 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of December 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Motor Vehicles Inspector. His next promotion post is that of Joint Regional Transport Officer. He was superceded from the select list for promotion during the year 2011. Aggrieved by his supercession, he approached this Court and by Ext.P1 judgment, the said action was found to be unsustainable. Pursuant to Ext.P1 judgment, the first respondent issued Ext.P2 revised select list assigning rank No.8A to the petitioner. Meanwhile, the petitioner's juniors had already been promoted. According to the petitioner, there is an open vacancy to which the petitioner can be promoted, without disturbing or reverting his juniors who have already been promoted. He has submitted Ext.P3 representation for the above purpose to the first respondent. He complains that no orders have been passed on Ext.P3, till date. Therefore, WPC No.34141 of 2011 2 he seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P3. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In view of the limited relief that is claimed, it is sufficient that this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3, expeditiously. 4. This writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P3, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
