JUDGMENT
Even though there are various assertions,
allegations and averments made and urged in this
writ petition, when this matter was called today, Sri.Jayachandran – learned counsel for
the petitioner, confined his plea that 2nd respondent - Registrar be directed to take up and dispose of Ext.P5 representation of his client, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court.
considered by the 2nd respondent, adverting to Exts.P3 and P4, then the claim for revision of
her earlier date of promotion could be acceded to.
Counsel for the respondents, in response, submitted that, if the petitioner only requires
WP(C) NO. 1574 OF 2023
-3-
Ext.P5 to be taken up and disposed of by the 2nd respondent, there does not appear to be any legal impediment in doing so; however, praying that this Court may not make any affirmative
declarations in her favour in this judgment and leave it to the said Authority to take an apposite decision, as per law.
Resultantly, I order this writ petition and direct the 2nd respondent – Registrar to take up Ext.P5 representation of the petitioner and dispose it of, adverting to Exts.P3 and P4,
after affording her an opportunity of being heard; thus culminating in an appropriate order and necessary action thereon, as expeditiously as is possible, but not later than one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
