Since departmental proceeding is admittedly pending against petitioner, no direction can be issued to the respondents to consider his case for promotion. Therefore, first writ application (C.W.J.C. No. 7533 of 2010) is dismissed at this stage. Second writ application (C.W.J.C.No.8674 of 2010) is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to conclude the pending proceeding against the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
