ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.19971 of 2010 (V) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 28th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T By Ext.P9 order dated 13/04/2010 the petitioner was promoted as Upper Division Clerk with effect from 23/07/2004. He contends that several of his juniors were promoted with effect from 31/08/1990. According to the petitioner, he is eligible for promotion as provided under Rule 13A(1)(a) of the KS & SSR and Ext.P2 Government Order, and therefore, he ought to have been promoted at least from the date on which his juniors were promoted. 2. It is seen that urging this claim the petitioner has filed Ext.P11 representation before the 2nd respondent. From the nature of the claim, it is obvious that to resolve the controversy, verification of factual records is necessary, and therefore, at this stage, the matter needs to be considered by the 2nd respondent. In that view of the matter, and taking note of the pendency of Ext.P11, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider the same and pass WP(C) No.19971/2010 -2- orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
