According to the petitioner he ought to have been promoted as First Grade Executive Officer with effect from 28.4.1989 and that was delayed which resulted in stagnation of his carrier. 2. Though, at this distance of time, prima facie it would appear that his claim is belated, still counsel for the petitioner points out that, Ext.P7 and P8 representations filed by the petitioner are pending before the 2nd respondent, without expressing anything on the merit of the claim raised, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider Exts.P7 and P8 with notice to the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No. /09 :2 :
