He aspires for promotion to the post of Assistant Director of Panchayat. Although his juniors have been promoted, for the reason that his probation is not declared, he is not considered for promotion. It is stated that in similar circumstances, several persons have been given temporary promotions, and therefore, seeking temporary promotion, he has filed Ext.P8. In this writ petition what is sought for is a direction for the consideration of Ext.P8, which according to the petitioner, is pending before the 1st respondent. Taking into account the limited nature of the relief that is sought for, without expressing anything on the merits, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P8. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
