Counsel for the petitioner submits that he would be satisfied if this petition is disposed in the light of the same direction as issued in the case of Dr. Mahamaya Prasad Chobisa (Supra). 4. Counsel for the respondents has no objection. 5. The instant writ petition be disposed of with direction to the respondents to determine the vacancies for the post of Lecturer in College Education (Sanskrit) on a year-wise basis and thereafter, conducted the DPC meeting and consider the case of all the eligible candidate for their promotion strictly in accordance with law. Being considered and granted promotion is an integral part of service and a legitimate expectation, unless an employee is otherwise not eligible or not found deserving. Timely steps should thus be taken to prevent any discontent among employees, as this ultimately affects the dedication towards their duties and is therefore not in the best interest of the State Government itself. 6. Stay application and all pending application(s), if any, also stand dismissed. 7. Needless to observe that the respondents would do the needful exercise within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J Ashu/105
