SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.32615 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 16th day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T Pursuant to advise by the Kerala Public Service Commission, the petitioner joined service on 22.09.2010 as L.D. Clerk/Village Assistant in Land Revenue Department. Although the petitioner passed all departmental tests in time, because of delay in obtaining police verification report the petitioner's probation in the post was not declared. The same was done only by Ext.P4 order dated 28.10.2004 and his appointment was regularised by Ext.P3 order dated 23.09.2004. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that in the meantime the juniors of the petitioners were promoted as U.D.Cs/SVOs as per order dated 29.1.2003. The petitioner was promoted only by Ext.P6 order dated 30.11.2004. As a result, the petitioner ranks as junior to his juniors. The petitioner seeks revised date of promotion as well as revision of the seniority. Seeking this relief the W.P.(C)No.32615 of 2010 -2- petitioner has filed Ext.P9 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as those who may be affected by a favourable order on Ext.P9 to the petitioner.
