WP(C) 3668/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Mr Banerjee, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr Gho sh, learned State counsel. Having regard to the nature of the grievance expressed by the petitioner and the relief prayed for, this petition is being disposed of at the motion st age. Shortly put, the facts relevant for the disposal of this petition are th at, the petitioner while serving as a Typist in the Special Branch Organization of the Assam Police, had responded to an advertisement issued by the Assam Secr etariat Administrative( Estt.) Department inviting applications amongst others f or the post of Typists. The petitioner’s application offering his candidature was duly forwarded by the concerned authority of his parent department. After completion of the selection undertaken by the Secretariat Administrative (Esst t.) department, he, by office order dated 12.6.2009 of the Commissioner and Secr etary of that department, was appointed as a Typist in the Assam Secretariat un der Rule 10(1) of the Assam Secretariat Subordinate Service Rules,1963. Thereby he was required to join the post within 15 days from the date of receipt thereo f. The petitioner thereafter on 17.6.2009 submitted a representation before the Superintendent of Police, Special Branch(E) Assam apprising the said authority about the appointment and requested for his release so as to enable him to joi n the new assignment. Though thereafter several representations have been submi tted, the same have not yet been responded to. As the time limit granted to the petitioner originally in terms of the appointment order was on the verge of bein g lapsed, he also submitted a representation before the Under Secretary to the G ovt. of Assam, Secretariat Administrative( E) Department, Dispur seeking extensi on thereof. By his representation dated 26.6.2009 the petitioner has also reques ted the said authority of the Secretariat Administrative(Esttt) Department to c orrespond with the Superintendent of Police(Special Branch), Assam, Guwahati . A s the same also did not ease the stalemate, the petitioner is before this Court for redress. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on a consideration of the pleaded facts and also having regard to the nature of the grievance expr essed, this proceeding is closed with a direction to the Superintendent of Polic e, Special Branch(E), Assam, Guwahati to take an appropriate decision on the pe titioner’s representation as referred to hereinabove within a period of one week herefrom. As on the face of the record, It appears that following a selection, th e petitioner has been appointed as a Typist in the Assam Secretariat, the afore mentioned authority , if there is no other impediment in law, would release the petitioner to join the new post. As the Secretariat Administrative(Estt) Depar tment, Dispur also has a role in the process, to ensure that the petitioner’s e ndeavour to join the new post does not get frustrated by the lapse of time, th e Under Secretary thereof would also take necessary steps in this regard. Having regard to the fact situation, the authorities concerned referre d to hereinabove would adhere to the time frame fixed by this Court. The petition stands disposed in the above terms. No costs.
