Seeking for a direction to the respondents to promote the petitioner as Assistant on par with the promotion granted to the petitioner's juniors, the present writ petition has been filed. 2.Heard the learned Counsel on either side and also perused the materials available on record.

3.The petitioner, who was working as Junior Assistant with the respondent, was placed in Serial No.16 in the promotion panel, dated 26.12.2017, to the post of Assistant. Though the petitioner was placed senior in promotion list, in counselling, he was not granted promotion and his juniors got promotion to the post of Assistant. Hence, he made a representation to the respondent on 22.01.2018. Since the respondent has not taken any decision on the representation of the petitioner, the petitioner has approached this Court.
