The petitioner is claiming promotion to the post of Lower Division Clerk against the reserved 10% vacancies of L.D Clerk, as per Ext.P1 order. 2. Presently, the grievance raised by the petitioner is that inspite of the draft Special Rules being approved, the same has not been finalised so far. Ext.P5 reflects approval granted by the Government way back on 01/06/2005. 3. The approval was granted by the Government pursuant to the judgment dated 13/02/2004 in W.P.(C).No.5416/2004. Still the matter is remaining there without any further action. 4. Therefore, the learned counsel for the petitioner prayed for appropriate direction to the first respondent to finalise the Kerala Water Authority Administrative, Ministerial and Last Grade Special Rules within a time frame to be fixed by this Hon'ble Court. 5. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to finalise the Kerala Water Authority Administrative, W.P.(C) No.16854/2007 -:2:- Ministerial and Last Grade Special Rules within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the copy of this judgment. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
