ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL)
The petitioner is aggrieved by the order (Annexure P-2) dated
2.7.2004, vide which the claim of the petitioner for promotion from the post
of Steno-typist to Sr.Scale Stenographer has been rejected on the ground
that the petitioner has not passed the English type test.
A short counter affidavit on behalf of the respondents has been
filed wherein it has been averred that the petitioner has already availed one
chance in which she has not cleared the English type test. It has further
been averred that the petitioner can also avail of two more chances, i.e on
12.11.2008 and 12.3.2009 and in case the petitioner would pass the type test
then necessary orders would be passed.
Counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that in case the
petitioner is unable to pass in two more chances being given to her then also
the petitioner is entitled to be considered for promotion.
CWP No.17887 of 2005 -2-
After hearing counsel for the parties, we are of the considered
opinion that the respondents are giving two more chances to the petitioner,
i.e. on 12.11.2008 and 12.3.2009, therefore, the petitioner may avail of these
chances for clearing the type test in English and in case the petitioner is
successful then her case for promotion be considered by the respondents in
accordance with law.
Writ petition disposed of.
