The petitioner claims that he is entitled to be promoted as Executive Officer. His complaint is that his claim has not been considered while his juniors have been promoted. According to the petitioner, he has been denied promotion and he would require relaxation of his qualification. The petitioner points out that in view of Exts.P4 and P5 proceedings, the petitioner who has been already granted relaxation as per Ext.P1 does not require any further relaxation of the qualification. Therefore, the denial of the promotion to the petitioner is submitted to be without any justification. Though the petitioner has submitted Ext.P6 representation that is pending before the second respondent, no action has wpc No.4493/2010 2 been taken thereon. 2. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider Ext.P6 representation of the petitioner, in accordance with law and in the light of Exts.P4 and P5 proceedings, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
