THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO WRIT PETITION No.5522 OF 2017 ORDER :

Heard. With the consent of both counsel, this writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage.

2.

Petitioner claims that he was earlier ignored for promotion on the ground that he did not possess graduation. But even after acquiring graduation, his promotion was delayed by almost a year depriving him the benefits in the promotion category, even though he is senior. Ventilating his grievance petitioner claimed to have submitted representation on 09.11.2016. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the Superintending Engineer, TSNPDCL, Adilabad1st respondent in not considering his representation and not granting retrospective promotion, this writ petition is filed. 3.

Since petitioner has submitted representation ventilating his grievance and claimed promotion retrospectively, this Court is not inclined to entertain and keep the writ petition pending, even before a decision is made by the competent authority. 4.

Having regard to the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, take appropriate decision as warranted by law and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
