The petitioner has already moved the 1st respondent by filing Exhibit P6 representation. 2. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the representation is not being acted upon in the light of the fact that it is an advance copy and the copy which was forwarded through proper channel has not reached the 1st W.P.(C)No.8207/11 -2- respondent. It is the case of the petitioner that the representation submitted through proper channel has been kept in the Directorate without forwarding it to the Government. 3. In the light of the above submission, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take a decision on Exhibit P6 representation after considering the claims of the petitioner also along with the claims of any other claimants, before filling up the vacancy.
