GOVT.PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 2380 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of January, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is an Assistant Sales Tax Officer under the second respondent. He retired from service while working as a Deputy Commissioner (Appeals), on 31.10.2006. His grievance relating the denial of timely promotion to the post of Assistant Commissioner was virtually redressed as per Ext.P1. As per the same, the date of his promotion to the post of Assistant Commissioner was revised and given effect from 4.9.1992. Grievance of the petitioner is that despite the passing of Ext.P1 order, no consequential order for granting him the benefits flowing from Ext.P1 order has been issued. The petitioner preferred Ext.P4 representation before the first respondent for its redressal. It is still pending. 2. Considering the fact that the petitioner has already been issued with a favourable order as per Ext.P1, it is only proper for the first respondent to look into the matter and grant him the benefits flowing from Ext.P1 order. Therefore, there is no reason or justification for not W.P.(C) NO.2380 of 2010 2 considering Ext.P4 representation for that purpose. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass orders thereon expeditiously,at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.2380 of 2010 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. CRL. M.C. NO. O R D E R 3rd June, 2009
