BY SR GP ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/09/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).25960/2009 -------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner is working as Store Verification Officer in the Health Services Department. He is eligible for being considered for promotion to the post of Stores Officer, which is a selection post. Apparently there are vacancies which are to be filled up. Petitioner attained the age of superannuation on 30.9.2009 and will now retire from service on 31.3.2010. It seems that the petitioner is the next eligible person to be promoted to the post of Stores Officer. 2. On instructions, learned Government Pleader submits that a DPC is to be convened, but it has not been convened so far, since some of the officers have not forwarded their CRs. It is difficult to appreciate the submission. If it is not forwarded, then the person will not be considered by the DPC. But that is no reason why DPC should not be convened. 3. 1st respondent shall ensure that DPC for the post of Stores Officer in the Health Services Department is convened W.P.(C).25960/09 2 within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall also be considered by the DPC and a select list shall be published, as early as possible, at any rate within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
