O R D E R

The relief sought for in this writ petition is for a direction to direct the respondent to consider the representation submitted by the writ petitioner on 27.10.2016, for inclusion of his name in the panel for promotion to the post of Assessor.

2. The learned counsel for the writ petitioner states that the writ petitioner was appointed as Basic Health Worker and thereafter promoted to the post of Junior Assistant and Tax Collector in the year 2001. He is eligible for promotion to the Post of Licence Inspector and his name was inadvertently omitted inspite of the fact that he is fully qualified for promotion. In this regard, the writ petitioner made a representation on 20.06.2013 to the respondent and the same is yet to be considered.
