GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 23078 OF 2010 (H) ===================== Dated this the 23rd day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner's grievance is regarding his exclusion from Ext.P2 select list for promotion to the post of Circle Inspector of Police. According to the petitioner, inspite of the fact that there is no disciplinary action pending against him, he has been wrongly excluded from the select list. It is seen that complaining of this, he has already filed Ext.P3 representation before the 2nd respondent. 2. Now that the 2nd respondent is seized of the issue, it is only appropriate that the 2nd respondent should expeditiously consider the grievance of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3, including the request for the convening of ad hoc DPC. While considering the representation, the principle laid down by the Apex Court in Union of India v. K.V.Jankiraman (AIR 1991 SC 2010), shall also be adverted to. 3. Therefore, I direct the petitioner to produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent, who shall thereupon consider Ext.P3 and pass WPC No. 23078/10 :2 : orders in the matter, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
