However, his claim<\/p>\n<p>promotion was overlooked on account of the pendency of a<\/p>\n<p>vigilance enquiry. The petitioner points out that as can be seen<\/p>\n<p>from Ext.P1, Government have accepted the recommendation of<\/p>\n<p>the Vigilance Department and dropped the proceedings against<\/p>\n<p>her. Inspite of it, in Ext.P3 select list for the post of Assistant<\/p>\n<p>Director she was not included. It is with this grievance, Ext.P5<\/p>\n<p>representation has been filed by the petitioner before the 1st<\/p>\n<p>respondent   seeking     her     inclusion     in the  select  list.<\/p>\n<p>According to the petitioner, the representation has not been<\/p>\n<p>considered and therefore the Writ Petition has been filed.<\/p>\n<p>     2.   If as stated by the petitioner, vigilance enquiry was<\/p>\n<p>the reason for her exclusion, having regard to the fact that by<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 such proceedings have been dropped, the matter needs<\/p>\n<p>re-examination.
