JUDGMENT

The petitioner is working as Messenger in the respondent bank. The petitioner claiming promotion approached the third respondent by Ext.P3 application. That was rejected by Ext.P4. Thereafter, the petitioner approached the second respondent by Ext.P5. Ext.P5 is pending before the second respondent. The only request made before this Court is an early disposal of Ext.P5.

In view of the above, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P5 after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
