His grievance is that promotion was due to the post of Head Warder on 31.5.2004. However, the same was granted to him only with effect from 25.6.2004. Earlier, for redressing the grievances in the said matter , he had approached this Court by filing W.P.(C)No.15747 of 2009. The same was disposed of as per Ext.P4 judgment with a direction to the second respondent, the Additional Director General of Police to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner and to pass fresh orders thereon. According to the petitioner, in purported compliance of the directions in Ext.P4 judgment, the second respondent has passed Ext.P5 order. As per Ext.P5, the petition filed by the petitioner was rejected. The petitioner has taken up the matter further before the first respondent by filing Ext.P6 appeal. Ext.P6 dated 19.2.2010 is now pending before the first respondent. It is aggrieved by the delay in the matter of disposal of Ext.P6 that this writ petition has been filed. Evidently, the petitioner has already moved the first WP(C).No.23913/2010 2 respondent raising his grievances against Ext.P5 order passed by the second respondent. The said appeal is pending before the first respondent. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
