MS.ANU SIVARAMAN, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------ WP(C) No.32457 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated, this the 13th day of November, 2009 ------------------------------ J U D G M E N T The petitioner, who is working as a Head Clerk in the Revenue Department, is aspiring for promotion to the post of Deputy Tahsildar. 2. Ext.P1 is the seniority list. The petitioner states that by Ext.P2 order dated 05/05/2007, along with 16 others, she was also placed under suspension, and was reinstated by Ext.P3 order dated 02/07/2008. Subsequently, by Exts.P4 & P5, several of her juniors, including all others who were suspended along with her, were promoted. It is her specific case that 78 persons in Ext.P4 and 28 persons in Ext.P5 are her juniors. 3. Since all others who were also placed under suspension along with her have been promoted, the petitioner also seeks similar treatment. It is seen that urging her claim for promotion, she has moved the respondent by filing Ext.P6 representation, and it is her case that even that remains unanswered. It is in these WP(C) No.32457/2009 -2- circumstances, this writ petition is filed. 4. Having regard to the fact that Ext.P6 representation is pending consideration, at least for the present, the petitioner's grievance will be redressed, if the said representation is considered by the respondent on an expeditious basis. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing the respondent to consider Ext.P6 representation as expeditiously as possible, any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition before the respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
