Verma, AAG 5, Dr. Mankeshwar Tiwari, AC to AAG 5 For the State of Jharkhand: Mr. Dhruba Mukherjee, Advocate 2 4.2.2011 The appellant moved this court in C.W.J.C.No.15945 of 2009 for grant of time bound promotion and also for certain benefits of A.C.P. By the order dated 23.12.2009 the learned Single Judge disposed of the writ application with an observation that if the petitioner submits a representation, the respondents would consider the same expeditiously. The appellant is aggrieved by the part of the order whereby the learned Single Judge also observed that any order passed by the authorities on such representation shall remain circumscribed by the pronouncement of the Supreme Court in the case of C. Jacob v. Director of Geology & Mining & anr), (2008) 10 SCC 115. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the aforesaid decision would not be applicable in this 2 KHAN case as the same as passed in respect of an employee whose services was terminated about 20 years ago. Mr. P.K. Verma, learned A.A.G., 5 appears on behalf of the State. After having heard learned counsel for the parties, we find that the learned Single Judge already granted opportunity to the appellant to file representation before the authorities concerned who would dispose of the same expeditiously. We, accordingly, dispose of this appeal with a direction that if the appellant files a representation before the authorities concerned, the same would be disposed of in accordance with law.
