Date : March 05, 2010 1. Heard Shri S.S.Deshmukh learned Advocate for petitioner and learned A.G.P. for Respondents No.1,2 and 4. 2. Limited relief sought in this petition is to direct Respondent No. 3 to decide petitioner's representation dated 13.5.2009 expeditiously. 3. Learned Counsel for Respondent No.3 seeks time to take instructions. In our opinion, the relief claimed in this petition is inviting a benign order from this 2 court which is in the nature of directions to Respondent No.3- authority to discharge its obligation to consider the representation expeditiously and in any case within reasonable time. The representation has remained pending since May 2009 as claimed by the petitioner. We see no good reason why the representation should remain pending for such a long time which is in respect of promotion of the petitioner. 4. Accordingly,we direct Respondent No. 3 to finally decide pending representation of the petitioner within a period not later than 3 months from today and communicate the decision to the petitioner within such time. All questions in that behalf are left open. Petition disposed of accordingly. (S.S.SHINDE, J.) (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.) pnd/wp1763.10
