NO. 33393 OF 2001 (A) ===================== Dated this the 17th day of June, 2009 J U D G M E N T The original petition was filed claiming promotion to the post of Deputy General Manager under the 1st respondent, where the petitioner was working at the time when the original petition was filed. It is stated that during the pendency of the original petition, petitioner also moved the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, claiming promotion to the post of Deputy General Manager and the Registrar has turned down his claim on the ground that posts in the quota earmarked for promotion have all been filed up and that no further posts were available to concede his claim. That order has not been challenged by the petitioner. In view of the above, the prayer in this original petition also cannot be allowed and hence dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
