promoted. The petitioner has already sent a legal notice dated 25.9.2008

directed to consider the legal notice (Annexure P-17) and take a decision

thereon.

In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to

respondents to take a decision on the legal notice (Annexure P-17) within

a period of two months from the date a certified copy of this order is

furnished to the competent authority. If the petitioner is found entitled to

any claim, the same be released to him in accordance with law within a

period of one month thereafter. Needless to say, in the event the claim of the

petitioner is to be rejected, it shall be by a reasoned and speaking order.
