This matter relates to allegation of delay in the matter of granting eligible promotion to the Last Grade Servants working in the Cochin Devaswom Board. Following interviews conducted some time in March, 2009, a list has been finalised and it is published on 16.11.2010. The said list has been placed before us. This means that there will not be any further delay in making appointments to the post of L.D. Clerks, by promotion from the Last Grade Servants. Let the needful be done within a period of one month from now. We clarify that we have only noticed that a selection process has been undertaken and a list prepared. The correctness or otherwise of the said list or any rival claim for DBP.14/10 2 appointment by promotion are not subject matters of this case. The DBP is ordered accordingly.
