The petitioner, who is now working as Tahsildar in
Revenue Department, by this writ petition, seeks the
following reliefs:
(i) to issue a writ of mandamus or order or
direction to the first respondent to promote
the petitioner as Deputy Collector in the next
arising vacancy.
(ii) to issue a writ of mandamus or order or
direction to the first respondent to consider
and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4 as
expeditiously as possible and at any rate
within a time limit that may be fixed by this
Hon’ble Court.
(iii) to issue a writ of mandamus or order or
direction to the first respondent not to
promote any other Tahsildars as Deputy
Collectors in preference to the petitioner since
the petitioner is the senior most eligible and
suitable person possessing the requisite
qualification.
2. Having heard the learned counsel for the
petitioner and the Government Pleader, I find that Ext.P4

representation preferred by the petitioner is still not
disposed and disposal of Ext.P4 would redress the grievance
of the petitioner. In the above circumstance, writ petition is
disposed of with direction to the first respondent to dispose
of Ext.P4 within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy
of this judgment. Any order of promotion during the
intermittent period shall be subject to the result of the
decision in Ext.P4. No costs.
P.S.GOPINATHAN,
(Judge)
