During the pendency of the writ petition he superannuated with effect from 30th November, 2007 while serving on the said post. By filing this writ petition on 07.03.2007 request has been made to direct the respondent authorities to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion on the higher post of Live Stock Inspector/Assistant Fodder Development Officer/Assistant Technical Officer as other juniors to the petitioner have been so promoted. 2 In this connection petitioner has also annexed the Gradation-List as Annexure-1 to the writ petition and with reference to the said list counsel for the petitioner desired to invite my attention to the name of the juniors of the petitioner who have been promoted on the higher post. 3. Instead of myself verifying the Gradation-List to confirm the contention of the counsel for the petitioner that juniors of the petitioner have been promoted on the higher post, I dispose of the writ petition directing the Director, Animal Husbandry to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 24.1.2007 and 4.8.2006, Annexure-5 and 5/1 for promotion on the higher post in accordance with law as early as possible, in any case within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the Director, Animal Husbandry.
