(ORAL) This is a petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion from 16.05.2001 with a further prayer for issuance of direction to the respondents to grant the petitioner the pay scale equal to the pay scale of other employees junior to the petitioner.

However, in case, the petitioner is found entitled for the said relief, the same shall be released forthwith. In case, the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, the same shall be by passing a speaking order. (NIRMALJIT KAUR) 22.09.2011 JUDGE gurpreet
