According to the petitioner, overlooking the seniority, in 1995 three of his juniors were given temporary promotion. It is stated that again in 2001 three of his juniors were shown as his seniors and at the time when ratio promotion was given, two of them were shown as juniors. Against this, representations were made by the petitioner and by Ext.P6 his seniority was notionally restored with effect from 5.3.2006. As his grievance was not fully redressed, he submitted Ext.P7 to the 2nd respondent on 2.7.2008 and in this writ petition what is sought for is a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P7 and pass orders thereon. 2 2. If, as stated by the petitioner, Ext.P7 has been received, it is for the 2nd respondent to consider the same and pass orders thereon. Necessarily, if any person is likely to be affected by such order, such person to be heard. Accordingly, without expressing anything on the merits, the writ petition is disposed of directing that orders on Ext.P2 shall be passed as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. 3
