That post is a promotion post from the post of Steno Typist<\/p>\n<p>Grade I. The petitioner entered service as per Ext.P1 order of<\/p>\n<p>appointment on 1.10.1994 as Typist. Her services were regularised by<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P3 order dated 6.4.1995. She was further promoted as Steno<\/p>\n<p>Typist Grade II by Ext.P5 order with effect from 1.1.1998. While so,<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner was again promoted as Steno Typist Grade I by Ext.P12<\/p>\n<p>order with effect from 1.3.2001.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.    The 4th respondent was a PSC recruit. She was appointed<\/p>\n<p>in the Thiruvalla unit as a Steno Typist Grade II on 27.1.1993. She<\/p>\n<p>was temporarily transferred to Irumpanam unit with effect from<\/p>\n<p>21.6.1997 by Ext.P7. By Ext.P8 dated 17.4.1999, she was<\/p>\n<p>permanently absorbed in the Irumpanam unit.         According   to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, in view of Article VIII of Ext.P11 memorandum of<\/p>\n<p>settlement between the unions and the management of the 1st<\/p>\n<p>respondent company, inter-unit transfers shall be resorted to only in<\/p>\n<p>exceptional circumstances and even if resorted to, the transferred<\/p>\n<p>employee will be junior to the existing employees in the same grade of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the unit and their posting will not affect the promotion avenues of the<\/p>\n<p>lower category persons in the unit. Therefore, according to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, the 4th respondent having been given a transfer to<\/p>\n<p>Irumpanam unit from Thiruvalla unit, she ranks below the petitioner as<\/p>\n<p>junior to the petitioner by virtue of Article VIII of Ext.P11.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the 4th respondent could not have been promoted as the<\/p>\n<p>Confidential Assistant to the Managing Director in preference to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, is the contention of the petitioner. The petitioner, therefore,<\/p>\n<p>seeks the following reliefs:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;(i)    To issue a Writ of Mandamus or other appropriate writ, Order or<br \/>\n             direction directing the 2nd Respondent to consider Ext.P6<br \/>\n             representation submitted the Petitioner and pass appropriate<br \/>\n             orders in accordance with law within a time limit fixed by this<br \/>\n             Hon&#8217;ble Court.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (ii)   To issue a Writ of Mandamus or other appropriate writ, Order or<br \/>\n             direction directing the 2nd Respondent to grant notional<br \/>\n             promotion to the Petitioner with effect from the date of<br \/>\n             occurrence of first vacancy after the date of effect of promotion to<br \/>\n             the post of Steno Typist Grade II granted to the Petitioner.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (iii)  To issue a Writ of Mandamus or other appropriate writ, Order or<br \/>\n             direction directing the 2nd Respondent to grant promotion to the<br \/>\n             Petitioner o the post of Confidential Assistant considering the<br \/>\n             seniority of the Petitioner.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      3.     A counter affidavit has been filed by respondents 1 and 2,<\/p>\n<p>wherein, they take the stand that although Ext.P12 order promoting<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner as Steno Typist Grade I was with effect from 1.3.2001,<\/p>\n<p>by Ext.R1(a) order, the same was kept in abeyance and it continues to<\/p>\n<p>be so even now. That means the petitioner was never promoted as<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Steno typist Grade I. But pursuant to Ext.R1(b) judgment in W.P.(C).<\/p>\n<p>No.19360\/2005, the case of the 4th respondent was reconsidered and<\/p>\n<p>she was absorbed and appointed in the Irumpanam unit as Steno<\/p>\n<p>Typist Grade I with effect from 1.3.2001. They would submit that there<\/p>\n<p>is only one post of Steno Typist Grade I, which was filled up by the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent and, therefore, in the cadre of Steno Typist Grade I, the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent is senior to the petitioner, because of which, the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>cannot now aspire for promotion to the post of Confidential Assistant<\/p>\n<p>to the Managing Director, which is a promotion post for Steno Typist<\/p>\n<p>Grade I in preference to the 4th respondent, is the contention raised by<\/p>\n<p>respondents 1 and 2.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.    I have considered the rival contentions in detail.<\/p>\n<p>      5.    From the averments and documents produced before this<\/p>\n<p>Court, it is quite clear that the 4th respondent became Steno Typist<\/p>\n<p>Grade I with effect from 1.3.2001. Although the petitioner was given<\/p>\n<p>promotion as Steno Typist Grade I by Ext.P12 order with effect from<\/p>\n<p>1.3.2001, by Ext.R1(a), the same was kept in abeyance. That means<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner never took charge as Steno Typist Grade I. That fact is<\/p>\n<p>beyond dispute now. The petitioner did not challenge either Ext.R1(a)<\/p>\n<p>or the appointment of the 4th respondent as Steno Typist Grade I with<\/p>\n<p>effect from 1.3.2001. Even in this writ petition filed on 2.5.2006, five<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>years later, the petitioner does not challenge either Ext.R1(a) or the<\/p>\n<p>appointment of the 4th respondent as Steno Typist Grade I, but she<\/p>\n<p>only stakes a claim for promotion for herself. I do not think that such a<\/p>\n<p>belated claim can be entertained to interfere with the promotion<\/p>\n<p>already given to the 4th respondent as Confidential Assistant at this<\/p>\n<p>point of time, especially since the petitioner has not challenged Ext.R1<\/p>\n<p>(a) or the appointment of the 4th respondent as Steno Typist Grade I<\/p>\n<p>even in this writ petition. Therefore, the petitioner is guilty of<\/p>\n<p>unexplained delay and laches and accordingly, on that ground, this writ<\/p>\n<p>petition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                        Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<pre>sdk+                                              S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE\n\n          \/\/\/True copy\/\/\/\n\n\n\n\n                              P.A. to Judge\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Rekha.G vs The Traco Cable Co.
