Union Limited, Rep. by its Managing Director, Ongole, Prakasam District. .....RESPONDENT Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to issue an appropriate writ order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the Respondent in not considering the case of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Supervisor and promoting his junior to the post of Supervisor as illegal, arbitrary unconstitutional and consequently direct the Respondent to promote the petitioner to the post of Supervisor in the existing vacancy as per the seniority list and to grant such other relief or reliefs as this Hon'ble Court deems fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.VENKATESWARLU SANISETTY Counsel for the Respondent: The Court made the following ORDER: The petitioner is working as R.M.R.D. Clerk in Prakasam District Milk Producers Mutually Aided Cooperative Union Limited, the respondent herein. Promotion from that post is to the post of Supervisor. Stating that the petitioner was denied promotion, though his juniors were promoted, he submitted a representation, dated 20.06.2008, to the respondent. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon and that his date of superannuation is fast approaching. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. The allegation of the petitioner that R.M.R.D. Clerks, who are junior to him, were promoted needs to be examined by the respondent. In case, the case of the petitioner has been overlooked or superceded for promotion, the reasons therefor need to be communicated to him. Inasmuch as the petitioner is nearing the age of superannuation, an immediate action, on the representation made by him is warranted. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to examine the representation, dated 20.06.2008, made by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 11.07.2008. Note: Issue c.c. in one week. kdl .....
