No.35761 of 2009 (M) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 11th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is presently working as a Head Accountant in the Forest Department. As is seen from Ext.P4, his name has been included for promotion to the post of Junior Superintendent. However, he was not promoted for the reason that due to pendency of a vigilance case his probation was not declared. Subsequently the probation was declared as per Ext.P3 with effect from 11/12/2004. It is now stated that since his probation is declared he is entitled to be promoted with retrospective effect. However, a decision on this issue has not been taken by the authorities. It is seen that Ext.P6 representation urging this claim made by the petitioner before the 3 rd respondent is pending consideration of the said authority. It is therefore, directed that the 3 rd respondent shall consider the aforesaid claim of the petitioner as urged in Ext.P6 representation as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six WP(C) No.35761/2009 -2- weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
