Mr.Nafees Usmani, Advocate for the Petitioners.

Mr.Abdul Majeed, Advocate for the respondents

Mr.Shaikh Liaquat Hussain, Standing Counsel.

                                         ---

      Both the petitioners have prayed that the respondents be directed to grant promotion to them with effect from 5.9.2012 when their promotions were due on completion of three years mandatory period under the PTV Rules.

       At the very outset, the learned counsel for the respondents pointed out the comments in which it is stated in paragraph No.9 that representation of the petitioners was under consideration by the management but they have started legal proceedings and the management have kept pending their representations.

      The petitioner No.2 is present in court submits that he is at the verge of his retirement but his case for promotion has not been considered by the management, while the petitioner No.1 (Abdul Sami) shall retire from service within two years.

      The representation cannot be kept pending or unattended for an unlimited period of time, while both the petitioners are performing their duties therefore, their representation for promotion must have been decided expeditiously by the competent authority.

      Since in the comments it is admitted that their representations are pending therefore, we dispose of this petition with the directions to the respondents to decide their representations within a period of 30 days in accordance with relevant law and rules of the establishment. The listed applications are also disposed of.
