CWP(T) No.14306 of 2008. 12.11.2009 Present: Mr. Suhbash Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General for the respondents No. 1 and 2. The petitioner has assailed the promotion of respondents No. 3 and 4 to the post of District Statistical Officer by way of representation. The representation has been rejected by the competent authority on 4th December, 2006 (Annexure-A-4). We have gone through the contents of Annexure-A-4. Annexure-A-4 is not a speaking order. The competent authority ought to have decided the representation by a speaking order. Consequently, Annexure-A-4 is set aside. The respondents are directed to decide the representation of the petitioner by a speaking order within a period of four weeks from today. With the above observations, the petition stands disposed of. No costs. (R.B. Misra), ACJ. (Rajiv Sharma), J. November 12, 2009. (sck).
