Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 30/10/2018 1.

The grievance of the petitioner in the instant Writ Petition is that, the petitioner who is working as Sub-Engineer as has experience of more than 30 years of service on the same post has been denied the benefit of one time promotion scheme floated by the State Government whereby the respondents had taken a policy decision as one time measure to promote all these Sub-Engineers (Civil) as an Assistant Engineer (Civil) on their completion of 30 years of service.

2.

According to the counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner has already completed 30 years of service, yet the name of the petitioner was not reflected in the promotion order Annexure-P/3 dated 05/10/2018. 3.

Given the said submission so also taking note of the pleadings in the Writ Petition that still there are more than 177 posts of Sub-Engineer (Civil) lying vacant and the petitioner also have made a detailed representation in this regard to the respondent No.2 vide the Annexure-P/4, this Court is of the opinion that ends of justice would meet if the respondent No.2 is directed to take a decision on the representation made by the petitioner at the earliest keeping in view the order of the State Government dated 03/08/2018 for promotion.

4.

The Writ Petition accordingly stands disposed off. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Sumit JUDGE
