It has been contended by the petitioner that he is working as Police Constable and the respondents have issued notification on 03.02.2017 for filling up vacancies of I.D Assistants in Intelligence Department, Hyderabad, by appointment by transfer.

WP.No.20368 of 2018 AKS,J examination. The petitioner had participated in the typewriting examination, but to his misfortune, the matter typed by him in the typewriting examination could not saved due to technical error and the petitioner was not permitted for further selection i.e., viva test. In those set of circumstances, the petitioner has submitted a representation to the respondents on 16.05.2018 requesting them to give one more opportunity to participate in typewriting test and to consider his case for appointment to the post of I.D Assistant, but so far the respondents have not passed any orders on the said representation.

Therefore, counsel for the petitioner had contended that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents had contended that since the petitioner's representation is pending with the respondents, the respondents would consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. This Court, having considered the rival submissions made by learned counsel for respective parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner on 16.05.2018 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, within a

WP.No.20368 of 2018 AKS,J reasonable period of time, preferably within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
