Judgment 1. Mr.S.Kumar, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents and by consent of both the parties, the main writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission. 2. Heard the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. 3. In this writ petition, the petitioner is seeking for a Writ of Mandamus directing the first respondent to include the name of the petitioner in the panel of Inspectors of Police fit for promotion to the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police for the year 2012-2013 and consequently to direct the first respondent to promote the petitioner as Deputy Superintendent of Police from the date on which his juniors were promoted. 4. It is the case of the petitioner, that as on the date of preparing the panel for promotion for the year 2012-2013, to the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police, the punishment imposed on the petitioner was not in existence and on the other hand, the same was set aside by the second respondent through proceedings dated 15.03.2013. Therefore, the petitioner contends that on the date of preparing such panel, the petitioner's name is entitled to be included therein. As the same has not been included, the petitioner has made a representation on 12.01.2015, seeking the relief as stated in the writ petition. 5. Considering the fact, that the petitioner has already approached the first respondent and made the above representation, it is for the first respondent to consider the same and pass orders on merits and in accordance with law. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of, without expressing any view on the merits and the contentions raised in the writ petition, only with a direction to the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 12.01.2015 and pass orders on the same and in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
