JUDGMENT
Petitioners are Head Nurses in the Health Services
Department and they are eligible for promotion to the post
of Nursing Superintendent Grade-II. They are aggrieved
by the fact that though there are vacancies in the
promotion post, steps have not been taken to fill up the
same. Reference is made to the fact that all the
petitioners have a very short duration in service before
their retirement.
2. On instructions, learned Government Pleader
submits that the second respondent has prepared a list of
25 Head Nurses eligible for promotion to the Nursing
Superintendent Grade-II and they are contemplating
provisional promotion.
3. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties,
writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent
to take a decision in the matter of issuance of orders of
W.P.(C).20238/2008
2
provisional promotion for the eligible Head Nurses to the
post of Nursing Superintendent Grade-II, within a period
of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment. The petitioners may produce a copy of this
judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before
the first respondent.

Judge
