It is for the Tribunal to decide the O.A. on merits and in accordance with law. However, having regard to the averments in the writ affidavit, we direct the official respondents to consider the case of the petitioner herein as well as the first respondent for further promotion, as per law. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ___________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. 25-06-2008 bsc .....
