THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================================= W.P.(C).No.17616 of 2007 ================================== Dated this the 12th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's contention in this writ petition is that respondents 3 to 8 have obtained appointment by suppressing the fact that they had passed SSLC, which is a disqualification for appointment to the original post held by them. Now taking advantage of their fraud, they are seeking promotion on the basis that they are qualified for such promotion, since they have passed SSLC. In the above circumstances the petitioner challenges the proposed promotion of respondents 3 to 8. However, for the present, the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. After hearing the counsel for the petitioner, I dispose of this writ petition with a w.p.c.17616/07 2 direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Before passing orders, the 2nd respondent shall also afford an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
