The representation made for expungement of remarks or for improvement of remarks should be decided as early as possible so that the employee may not suffer adverse decision at the time when his case comes for consideration. In the petition, it has been stated that the Public Service Commission has initiated proceedings for consideration of eligible officers for promotion to the next higher post of Additional Director. Therefore, in these circumstances, it would only be

fair to direct the respondents that the representation of the petitioner be decided within a period of 60 days from today.
