JUDGMENT : 1. The petitioner submits that he was entitled to the grant of notional promotion as Incharge Lecturer w.e.f. 30.03.1993 and on regular basis from 01.01.2003 but ignoring his claim, the persons, who were figuring much below than the petitioner in the seniority list came to be granted this benefit and were promoted w.e.f. 21.02.2011 and they have stolen a march ahead of the petitioner and have now become Incharge Principals w.e.f. 04.01.2014. Aggrieved, the petitioner approached this Court through the medium of SWP No.1703/2015 (Ram Parkash Sharma v. State of J&K & another), which was disposed of by this Court vide order dated 09.06.2015, directing the respondents to consider the respondents to accord consideration to the case of the petitioner on the basis of averments made in the petitioner and issue appropriate speaking order after providing opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. Eight weeks’ time was granted to complete the whole exercise. 2. The grievance of the petitioner, as projected, in this writ petition is that pursuant to the order of this Court his case was considered and he was even heard by Commissioner/ Secretary to Govt., School Education Department and a notification inviting objections with regard to fixation of his seniority was also issued. It is further submitted that publication of the notice inviting objections was published as back as in August, 2016 but further orders have not been passed by the competent authorities even after lapse of almost one year. 3. When this position is put to Mr. Ravinder Gupta, learned AAG appearing for the respondent, he fairly states that pursuant to the exercise undertaken by respondent No.1, particularly the publication of notice inviting objections dated 11.08.2016, respondent No.1 has to take a final call and pass appropriate orders. 4. In view of the nature of controversy involved and the stand of the respondents and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is admitted and taken for final disposal. 5. In the light of the facts stated above, this writ petition is disposed of by directing respondent No.1 to complete the exercise of considering the case of the petitioner undertaken by him pursuant to the order of this Court dated 09.06.2015 passed in SWP No.1703/2015 and pass appropriate orders, with a period of four weeks positively from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order.
It is noted that there is already inordinate delay in complying with the directions issued by this Court and any further delay shall be viewed seriously.
