THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
31.05.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 17577 OF 2022 3
JUDGMENT
Claiming that the petitioner is entitled to get promotion as
HSA (English) with effect from 29.1.2011 against the leave
vacancy of one Pavithran Mavila and consequential benefits, the
petitioner has approached this Court and pursuant to the
directions, the DEO has issued orders rejecting the claim of the
petitioner. Challenging the aforesaid order, the petitioner is
stated to have preferred Ext.P10 revision petition before the 2nd
respondent which is stated to be pending.
2. Sri. M. Sajjad, the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner submitted that the limited request of the petitioner is
for the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P10 in the light of Exts.P6
to P9 and take a decision in an expeditious manner.
3. The learned Government Pleader on instructions
submits that if Ext.P10 is registered and is pending, a decision
can be taken within a period of four months.
4. In view of the limited nature of the relief sought for,
notice to the respondents 5 to 7 is dispensed with.
5. 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 by issuing the following directions:
a) There will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to
take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on
Ext.P10, in the light of Exts.P6 to P9, after affording
an opportunity of being heard, either physically or
virtually, to the petitioner herein or her authorised
representative and the party respondents.
b) Orders, as directed above, shall be passed
expeditiously, in any event, within a period of four
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 to ensure
compliance.
This writ petition is disposed of.
