SRI.P.GOPAL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: A.K. Basheer, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P(C) No. 7908 of 2007-N - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 8th day of March 2007. J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the order of promotion passed in his favour promoting him to the Junior Managerial Grade Scale I, he is being denied promotion on the ground that his vision is low. It is contended by the petitioner that he had produced Exts.P5 and P7 medical certificates which clearly indicated that he does not suffer from any such disability. Anyhow I do not propose to deal with the above and other contentions in view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner at the Bar who submits that petitioner will be satisfied if an appropriate direction is issued to respondent No.2 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7(a) representation submitted by the petitioner. 2. Learned Standing Counsel submits that an appropriate decision in the matter will be taken without any delay if Ext.P7(a) has been submitted along with relevant documents. In the above facts and circumstances the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider Ext.P7(a) and pass orders strictly on its merit and in accordance with the Rules and Regulations as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that the petitioner shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
