The original application has been filed in the year 1998. The petitioner who was working as Additional Superintendent of police, before superannuation, has made two representations dated 25.05.1998 and 23.10.1998, seeking the relief of promotion to the post of Superintendent of police by relaxing the rules. Such representation, admittedly, has not been disposed of by the Government - 1st respondent and therefore, the grievance of the petitioner has not been redressed so far. The learned counsel seeks a direction for considering the representation on merits. 3. Considering the nature of relief sought for and the plea of the counsel for petitioner, the respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner, if not already disposed of on merits within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. The writ petition stands disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/ Asst.Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.Registrar sms To THE SECRETARY. TO GOVT. HOME 1A DEPT. FORT ST. GEORGE, CHENNAI-9. +1cc to Govt.
