SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------ WP(C) NO. 28535 OF 2011 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 13th day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Peon in the Health Services Department. According to the petitioner, as per Exts.P1 and P2, the vacancies of Junior Health Inspectors Grade II in the Department of Health Services are to be filled up by the promotion of technically qualified hands in the Department as well as by direct recruitment in the ratio of 1:2. The petitioner contends that he is qualified and his name appears in the list of qualified candidates which is Ext.P4. 2. The present complaint of the petitioner is that though he is serial number 71 in Ext.P4, his junior, who is serial number 72, has been promoted as per Ext.P7 proceedings. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P8 representation to the 3rd respondent detailing his grievances against the promotion granted to his junior. WP(C) NO. 28535 OF 2011 ..2.. Though Ext.P8 has been pending before the 3rd respondent, he complains that no orders have been passed thereon till date. Therefore, he seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P8. 3. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. 4. In view of the limited relief prayed for, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner set out in his representation, evidenced herein by Ext.P8, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
