JUDGMENT

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents, apart from perusing the record. Since the issue lies in a narrow compass, this Court proposes to dispose of the writ petition at the admission stage itself.

2. The second respondent, the employer, having decided to fill up 31 posts by promotion from the feeder category, conducted interview on 23.03.2015.

3. Ventilating their grievance that so far the second respondent has not finalized the proceedings, the petitioners, 21 in number, have filed the present writ petition.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that concerning the finalization of proceedings regarding the promotion, the petitioners have already submitted Exhibit P6 representation to the second respondent, who is yet to dispose it of.

W.P.(c) No. 30086 of 2015

5. The learned counsel for the second respondent, on his part, has submitted that the second respondent is willing to consider petitioners' Exhibit P6 representation in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders thereon. In the facts and circumstances, having regard to the respective submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, disposes of the present writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider petitioners' Exhibit P6 representation in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

No order as to costs.
