RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.18551 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are working as Foresters. They are aggrieved by Ext.P10 order whereby persons allegedly juniors to them were granted promotion as Deputy Rangers. Feeling aggrieved by the said order, the petitioners have preferred Exts.P11 and P16 representations respectively before the first respondent. Despite the receipt of the said representations, no action was taken thereon. It is in the said circumstances that this Writ Petition has been filed. 2. Taking into account the fact that as against Ext.P10, the petitioners have already preferred Exts.P11 and P16 representations before the first respondent, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in this Writ Petition as also in the respective representations submitted by the petitioners, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P11 and P16 expeditiously. At any rate, this shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioners as also the promotees under Ext.P10 who are allegedly juniors to the petitioners.
