IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V.GIRI TUESDAY, THE 16TH OCTOBER 2007 / 24TH ASWINA 1929 WP(C).No. 28828 of 2007(F) -------------------------- PETITIONER: ---------------- P.K.MOHAMMED SAGEER, S/O. KUNHI MOHAMMED, AGED 47 YEARS, GENERAL FOREMAN, GOVERNMENT CENTRAL PRESS TRIVANDRUM. BY ADV. SRI.V.A.MUHAMMED SRI.K.E.HAMZA RESPONDENTS: ------------------ THE DIRECTOR OF PRINTING TRIVANDRUM. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.28828 of 2007 F ------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of October, 2007. JUDGMENT The petitioner aspires for promotion to the post of Assistant Superintendent. He is qualified and senior enough to be promoted to the said post. He has been included in Ext.P2 select list also. 2. Learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that there are two vacancies of Assistant Superintendent and the petitioner is otherwise eligible to be promoted. In fact, it is submitted that if further promotion is effected, the petitioner is eligible to be promoted next. But, apparently, the respondent has not promoted the petitioner only on account of the orders passed in W.P.(C) Nos.22395/03 and 20372/04. 3. In the circumstances, it will be more appropriate for the petitioner to move the court in the aforementioned writ petitions and get the orders passed therein vacated or modified or suitably clarified. In the situation where the department has otherwise expressed its willingness to W.P.(C).No.28828 of 2007 :: 2 :: promote the petitioner, I do not think that any further grievance survives in this writ petition. This writ petition is, therefore, closed leaving open the contentions of the petitioner and giving him an liberty to move this court again, if the need warrants.
