GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 23996 OF 2010 (Y) ===================== Dated this the 2nd day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Sub Inspector of Police aspiring for promotion to the post of Circle Inspector of Police. His grievance is that in the DPC which was held on 29/6/2010, when Ext.P2 select list was prepared, his name was not considered. According to the petitioner, this was for the reason that an oral enquiry has been ordered against him on 1/6/2010. It is stated that the mere fact that an enquiry has been ordered is no reason to exclude a candidate in the DPC proceedings. 2. Irrespective of the merits of the case, it is seen that the petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 representation to the 2nd respondent complaining of his exclusion from the DPC proceedings. 3. Having regard to the pendency of Ext.P3, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider the said representation and pass appropriate orders thereon. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of WPC No. 23996/10 :2 : this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
