In the medical examination, he was found to be unfit to function as a Driver of A-I category. Thereupon, he was given an alternative employment of Shramik. The petitioner states that having regard to his seniority in the post of Driver, he is entitled to be considered for the post of Assistant Depot Clerk/Controller. He claims to have made a representation, dated 24.06.2008, in this regard, and complains that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It was just in the last week, that the petitioner made a representation to the respondents, with a prayer to consider his case for the post of Assistant Depot Clerk/Controller. He rushed to this Court, without even waiting for the reaction of the respondents. Strictly speaking, the writ petition is pre-mature. All the same, it is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 24.06.2008, made by the petitioner, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 01.07.2008 JSU .....
