The petitioners herein are employed in the Girijan Cooperative Corporation Limited as Junior Managers. They claim that they are entitled to the post of Senior Managers. The second respondent by impugned proceedings promoted the unofficial respondents to the post of Senior Manager in the time scale of Rs..5980-12100. The impugned proceedings indicate that the said promotions were issued without prejudice to the claims of the petitioners and three others, whose promotions are deferred due to pendency of disciplinary actions/undergoing punishments/bad records/inefficiency etc. The petitioners claim that there are no disciplinary proceedings pending against them and ignoring their claim for promotion is illegal and arbitrary. Hence, the present writ petition. This Court while admitting the writ petition by order dated 29.12.2006 granted interim order that any promotion to the post of Senior Manager is subject to further orders. Today when the matter is taken up, learned standing counsel for respondent corporation submitted that there are no disciplinary proceedings pending against the petitioners and inadvertently under an impression that there disciplinary proceedings pending against them, their cases were not considered by the Board and based on the resolution of the Board, impugned orders were passed promoting the unofficial respondents. It is further stated that the term of the Board was over and presently the second respondent is Incharge of the corporation and the cases of the petitioners will be reconsidered in accordance with law. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned standing counsel for respondent corporation. Having regard to the submission of the learned standing counsel for respondent corporation that there are no disciplinary proceedings pending against the petitioners and their cases will be reconsidered by the second respondent in accordance with law, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following order; The second respondent is directed to reconsider the cases of the petitioners for promotion to the post of Senior manager in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
