ORDER
Petitioner has come up with this Writ Petition seeking a direction to
the 1st Respondent to consider his representation dated 10.08.2020 sent on
31.08.2020 and 16.12.2020 and to include his name at the appropriate place
in the Select List of Police Constables of the year 2001-2003 along with his
batchmates and grant consequential service benefits in the light of the order
dated 04.07.2014 made in W.P.Nos.19914 of 2012 and 19915 of 2012 and
the order dated 01.11.2016 made in W.P.No.37680 of 2016.
2. Heard the learned counsel on either side and perused the
material documents available on record.
3. It is stated by the Petitioner that, he was promoted as Grade I
Constable in February 2017 and his name was included in the seniority list of
2007, i.e. from the date of his appointment. He made several requests to the
Respondents to re-fix his seniority from the date of selection, i.e. 2001-2003
and in that regard, he has also forwarded a representation to the 1st
Respondent on 10.08.2020 and a further representation to the Respondents on
16.12.2020. As there is no reply from the Respondents, having no other
alternative, the Petitioner has approached this Court.

4. Taking note of the submissions of the learned counsel on either
side, if the Petitioner's representations dated 10.08.2020 and 16.12.2020 are
still pending with the Authorities concerned, this Court directs the 1st
Respondent to consider the Petitioner's representations, after affording him
an opportunity of hearing and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law
within a period of thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of this
order.
5. The Petitioner shall furnish his phone number, Email ID, if any,
etc., along with a copy of his representations and a copy of this order to the
1st Respondent, forthwith. The 1st Respondent is directed to communicate the
decision taken on the representations, to the Petitioner within a period of
three weeks from the date of decision taken thereon, by way of
SMS/Email/Registered Post/Speed Post, so that there is no need for the
parties to file a Contempt Petition after expiry of the specified period. In
case, Authorities concerned fail to send communication to the parties, they
will have to face civil imprisonment in case of contempt proceedings and, if
they are unable to serve the order and the cover being returned unserved for

one reason or the other, the same shall be kept in the file without opening it

will not take a plea that, they are not aware of the order of this Court.
With the above directions, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No
costs.
