JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 18030 OF 2008 U ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 17th day of June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are working as Lineman Grade I. They joined the service as Mazdoors. The next promotion post of Electricity workers/Mazdoors is Lineman Grade II. Promotion for the post of Lineman Grade II is based on State wide seniority list prepared in the category of Electricity workers/Mazdoors. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that though change was effected in the unit of appointment of the Electricity workers/Mazdoors from State to District way back in 1989, consequential change of unit of appointment/promotion of Lineman Grade II from State to District was not effected. The petitioners have filed separate objections, namely Exts.P3 and P4, highlighting their grievances before the respondent. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the Board also. The writ petition is disposed of WPC.18030/08 : 2 : directing the respondent Board to consider and take a decision on Exts.P3 and P4 in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity to hear the petitioners and any other affected party, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
