JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that he was appointed as a Full-Time Menial in the Council for Development Higher Secondary School & Vocational Higher Secondary School, Mathur with effect from 1.6.2021 in a promotion vacancy. It is contended that challenging the refusal to grant approval, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P6 revision petition before the 1st respondent which is stated to be pending. The prayer in this writ petition is for expeditious consideration of Ext.P6
2. Heard Sri. M.Sajjad, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Smt.Nisha Bose, the learned Senior Government Pleader.
3. In the nature of the order that I propose to pass, notice to the 5th respondent is dispensed with.
4. After having carefully evaluated the contentions raised in this writ petition, the submissions made across the Bar and the facts and circumstances, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of at the admission stage itself by issuing the following directions:
a) There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P6 after WP(C) NO. 20599 OF 2022 3 affording an opportunity of being heard, either physically or virtually, to the petitioner herein or his authorised representative and the 5th respondent.
b) Orders, as directed above, shall be passed expeditiously, in any event, within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
c) It would be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the writ petition along with the judgment before the concerned respondent for further action.
This writ petition is disposed of.
