RESPONDANTS'S EXHIBITS NIL:- TRUE COPY P.A. TO JUDGE tss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.23482 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of October 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are working in the post of Medical Officer (Homoeo) under the second respondent. According to the petitioners, as per Ext.P1, the Departmental Promotion Committee found the petitioners eligible for promotion to the post of Chief Medical Officer (CMO) in the year 2001-2002. However, the promotion order was deliberately delayed and the promotion was ultimately granted to the first and second petitioners on 31.10.2003 and to the third petitioner on 25.2.2004. According to the petitioners, Ext.P2 seniority list suffers from anomalies. Direct recruits who are far junior to the petitioners are placed above them in the seniority list. Though they have submitted complaints to the authorities, no action has been taken on their representations till date. According to the counsel for the petitioners, Exts.P3 and P4 representations are still pending before the WPC No.23482/2011 2 respondents. 2. I notice that Ext.P3 representation has been submitted by all the petitioners together to the second respondent. Since Ext.P3 is pending consideration of the second respondent, it is sufficient that the same is directed to be considered and disposed of without delay. 3. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners, evidenced herein by Ext.P3 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
