The O.A. was filed for a direction to the respondents to consider his case for promotion in response to the representations made on 19-09-2003 and 22-03- 2004. The tribunal has rejecting the application on the ground that he had already filed an application on earlier occasion and the same was disposed of and thus observed as follows: The applicant has filed O.A.No. 2722 of 2004 praying this Tribunal to dispose of the representations dated 19-09-2003 and 22-03-2004. Though the above O.A. was disposed of with a direction to the respondents to examine the representations dated 19-09-2003 and 22-03-2004 and pass appropriate orders in the matter of promotion, if he is otherwise eligible, qualified and comes within the zone of consideration within a period 9of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order, the present O.A. is filed seeking similar relief as sought for by him in the above O.A.No. 2722/2004. After hearing the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner, we are unable to convince that the Tribunal has committed any error in passing the above order. Thus we do not find any ground to interfere with the same. Acccordingly the Writ Petition is dismissed. However we make it clear that it is open to the petitioner to challenge the final orders if any passed by the authorities before appropriate forum. No costs. _________________ 29-06-2004. To 1.
