REMANI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 31028 OF 2008 R = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 22nd day of October 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner entered service as Lab Assistant. According to him, in 1997 he ought to have been promoted as Programmer, in 2005 as Senior Programmer and in 2007 as System Analyst in terms of Ext. P1 special rules. It is also his case that several persons junior to him have been given promotion overlooking his claims. 2. It is noticed that the petitioner has already moved Ext. P3, a representation, before the 1st respondent, urging his claims for promotion. Therefore, as at present, I feel that the grievance of the petitioner can be redressed by directing the 1st respondent to take note of Ext. P3 and examine the same with notice to the petitioner. 3. Accordingly, the writ petition will stand disposed of, directing that the 1st respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders on Ext. P3, if it has been received and is pending. This shall be done with notice to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at W.P.(C) No. 310282008 -2- any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 1st respondent, for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
