ANTONY MUKKATH. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 11282 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 7th day of April, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Regional Officer in the Northern Regional Office of the 2nd respondent. He is due to retire on 31.7.2011. According to the petitioner, he is eligible for promotion to the post of Project Manager. Seeking that benefit, the petitioner has filed Exts.P1, P2 and P3 representations on 27.11.2006, 6.11.2010 and 18.3.2011. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that those representations are not being considered by the 2nd respondent. The petitioner presently would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P1, P2 and P3 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think that it is necessary to issue notice to the 2nd respondent at this juncture. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P1, P2 and P3, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 3rd respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
