Heard learned counsel for the parties.
It has been contended by the petitioner that he has applied for the post of Junior Assistant-cum-Computer Operator in pursuance of the notification dated 28.09.2019 issued by the respondents and has undergone regular selection process. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he has responded to the said notification and undergone 2 AKS,J W.P.No.4812 of 2021 regular selection process, his case is not being considered for appointment to the post of Junior Assistant-cum-Computer Operator. In those set of circumstances, the petitioner has submitted a detailed representation to the respondents on 04.12.2020, but so far the respondents have not passed any orders on the said representation.
Therefore, counsel for the petitioner has contended that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner on 04.12.2020 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.
Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents had contended that since the petitioner's representation is pending with the respondents, the respondents would consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.
This Court, having considered the rival submissions made by learned counsel for respective parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner on 04.12.2020 and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a reasonable period of time, preferably within eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.
Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
