respondent in Lr.No.Ka.No.4132/B3/2013, dated 02.11.2015 in regard to promotion to the post of Lecturer.

2.The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner urged that the proposal was submitted by the Principal of the Government College of Architecture and Sculpture on 27th February 2014 itself and for the past 3 years no action has been taken to consider the proposals submitted. In view of the pendency of the proposal the writ petitioner is unable to get her promotional opportunities. Considering the nature of the grievances advanced in this writ petition, this Court is inclined to direct the respondents to look into the proposal. Accordingly, the respondents 1 and 2 are directed to consider the proposals submitted earlier and pass appropriate orders by considering the representations submitted by the petitioners also and pass orders within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order.

3.With the above observations, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. However, there no order as to costs. Sd/- Asst.Registrar (CO) /true copy/ Sub Asst. Registrar rna To 1.The Secretary to Government of Tamil Nadu, Tourism, Culture and Religious Endowments Department, Secretariat, Chennai - 9.
