However, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is entitled to be promoted with effect from 02.02.1999, on par with his juniors, and in this regard, he also made a representation to the 2nd respondent on 03.02.1999, which is pending. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 2nd respondent – Regional Manager, Mahaboobnagar Region, is directed to consider the representation purported to have been made by the petitioner on 03.02.1999, for consideration of his case for being promoted with effect from 02.02.1999, on par with his juniors, and pass appropriate orders as per law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, and communicate the same to the petitioner. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 12th December, 2007. IBL
