The petitioner was overlooked for promotion on the ground of pendency of disciplinary proceedings. According to the petitioner, the disciplinary proceedings have been finalised. Therefore the petitioner has filed Exts.P2 & P3 representations before the 2nd respondent seeking promotion as Assistant Engineer with effect from the date on which his immediate junior was promoted. For the present, the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P2 & P3, expeditiously. I have heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the K.S.E. Board also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass W.P.(C)No. 6511 of 2011 -2- orders on Exts.P2 & P3 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. It would be open to the petitioner to rely on Exts.P4 to P7 judgments, the applicability of which shall also be considered by the 2nd respondent while passing orders. Sd/- S.
