In the notification published on 30.9.2006, pursuant to selection by the Departmental Promotion Committee, the petitioner's name is not included. Feeling aggrieved, he has filed Ext.P7 review petition before the Convenor of the DPC, namely, the Director of Panchayaths. Learned counsel submits that early decision on Ext.P7 is necessary since the valuable right of the petitioner for promotion to the higher post is affected. 2. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition itself with appropriate directions. Accordingly, there shall be an order directing the second respondent to consider Ext.P7 on merits and pass orders in accordance with law. The order passed shall be communicated to the petitioner immediately. Time for compliance is six weeks on the petitioner producing a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the second respondent. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
