RULE. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of the learned counsel for the parties.

Judgment wp118.20.odt 3.

The petitioner is claiming his up-gradation to the post of Sectional Engineer and also grant of first benefit of Assured Career Progressive Scheme on the ground that he has been honourably acquitted and also exonerated in the Departmental Enquiry that was held against him. For asserting his such entitlement, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a representation has been made by the petitioner to the respondent, but the same is still undecided. 4.

We are of the view that the purpose of this petition would stand served if a direction is issued to the respondent for deciding the representation of the petitioner, in accordance with law. The petition is partly allowed. The respondent is directed to decide the representation, dated 07/11/2019, filed by the petitioner, in accordance with law, at the earliest and in any case, within four weeks from the date of this order.

Rule accordingly. No costs.
