TO JUDGE DCS K. SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 34722 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd December, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as an Upper Division Clerk in the office of the second respondent. He joined service on 7-7-2005. Prior to joining service, he had rendered service in the Army. The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining that his prior military service has not been taken into account while reckoning his service for the purpose of granting his higher grade. The petitioner has therefore submitted Ext.P9 representation to the first respondent. However, he complains that no orders have been passed on Ext.P9 till date. 2. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. Since Ext.P9 is pending consideration of the first respondent it is only appropriate that the same is considered by the first respondent, without delay. 3. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P9, in accordance with law and in the light of the law laid down by this Court in Exts.P2 and P3 WPC 34722/2011 2 judgments and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
