NO. 1440 OF 2007 ----------------------------------------- Dated 20th February, 2008. JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The writ petitioner is the appellant. He challenges the judgment of the learned single Judge, contending that this Court should have ordered to promote him. The appellant claimed promotion to the post of Accounts Officer. This Court cannot promote him to that post. So, this Court directed the competent authority to consider his claim. We find nothing wrong with that judgment. Now, it is submitted by both sides that the appellant's claim has been considered pursuant to the direction in the judgment under appeal and it has been rejected also, by order dated 24.7.2007. In view of the above position, we find no merit in this appeal. Accordingly, it is dismissed. The dismissal of the writ appeal will not affect WA 1440/2007 2 the contentions of the appellant against the order rejecting his claim. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. Nm/
