Dated this, the 27th day of September, 2010.
J U D G M E N T
Petitioners are police constables of the Kollam District. Their
grievance in this writ petition is that they are not being permitted to
write the eligibility test for promotion to the post of Head Constable.
According to them, going by their seniority, they are entitled to be
considered for such promotion. Detailing their grievances, the
petitioners have filed Exts.P7 and P8 representations before the 3rd
respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the 3rd respondent to
consider and pass orders on Exts. P7 and P8 expeditiously.
2. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with
the following directions:
The 3rd respondent shall consider and pass orders on Exts.P7
and P8 as expeditiously as possible, preferably before the next
eligibility test for promotion to be conducted on 9.10.2010. If, for
any reason, orders cannot be passed thereon before 9.10.2010, the 3rd
respondent shall consider allowing the petitioners to write the
eligibility test on 9.10.2010 provisionally subject to the decisions in
Exts.P7 and P8.
The petitioners shall forward a copy of the writ petition along
with a certified copy of this judgment to the 3rd respondent for
compliance.
