Ext.P9 is a provisional gradation list of Professors of Medical Colleges up to 31.10.2007. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner was deputed to work in the Academy of Medical Sciences, Pariyaram as per Ext.P5 order. Petitioner joined duty there as per Ext.P6 dated 9.9.1998. Thereafter, he was promoted as Processor in Pharmacology with effect from 25.3.1999 as per Ext.P7. After completing five years of deputation, petitioner was relieved from the Department of Pharmacology at Academy of Medical Sciences on 7.8.2003 and rejoined duty at Medical College, Calicut. The contention raised by the petitioner is that the W.P ( C) No.31114 of 2009 2 petitioner was compulsorily sent on deputation to the Academy and that the said period is liable to be counted for subsequent promotions. This is a matter for the respondents to consider while finalising the list, produced by the petitioner as Ext.P9. There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the objections raised by the petitioner, as per Ext.P10, before finalising Ext.P9 provisional gradation list. Petitioner will produce a copy of the writ petition along with copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent, for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
