No.1406 of 2007 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 20th January, 2009. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. Appellant/petitioner approached this court aggrieved by the denial of promotion to the post of Middle Management Grade II. It is the case of the petitioner that he is entitled to be considered for promotion in the light of Ext.P3 memorandum issued by the Government. The learned Single Judge directed the Bank to consider the case of the petitioner in the light of Ext.P3 memorandum. It is seen that the bank has since considered the matter and passed Ext.R1 (g) order. If the petitioner is aggrieved, it is for him to pursue the matter in appropriate proceedings challenging Ext.R1(g). Without prejudice to such liberty, this appeal is dismissed. It is made clear that we have not adverted to the various other contentions taken by the parties, in view of the intervening development referred to above, and hence all the contentions are left open.
