WRIT PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR Sinale Bench:

Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Writ Petition (Sl No. 169 of 2015 Petitioner Padum Pratap Singh Paikra

VERSUS

Respondents State of Chhatttisgarh and others

Present:

Shri Sandeep Shrivastava, counsel for the petitioner. Shri Rahul Tamaskar, PL for the State.

Oral Order (21.01.2015) The limited prayer of the petitioner through the instant petition is that the respondents may consider his case by posting him as Asstt. Engirieer at Dharamjaigarh Block.

2.

The grievance of the petitioner is that presently, respondent No.4 has been made In-Charge of Dharamjaigarh Block and he is a person who is much junior to the petitioner and that though the petitioner is posted in the same Division, but he is not being considered for being posted as Asstt. Engineer at Dharamjaigarh Block. 2.

However, on perusal of the record, it appears that the petitioner has till date, not made a detailed representation to the higher officers in the Department and has only tried to pursue a remedy by making the representation to the Chief Minister's Office anc to the Minister. 3.

In view of above, the instant petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to make a fresh representation raising his grievance to respondents No.2 & 3 who in turn, shall decide the same in accordance with law on its own merits.

4.

Needless to mention that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case and in case the petitioner makes a representation within a period of weeks from today, the State Government, on receipt of the said representation, shall take a decision on the same within a period of 4 months from the date of receipt of the representation.
