Muliya Respondent :- State of U.P. and Another Counsel for Petitioner :- Sudhakar Yadav,Virendra Mani Tripathi Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Harshit Pandey Hon'ble Ajay Bhanot,J. The petitioner was serving as safai karmchari in the Health Department at Nagar Nigam, Kanpur Nagar. She superannuated from service on 31.12.2014. The petitioner claims that she is entitled to the benefit of the Assured Career Progression. She has made a representation before the competent authority but to no avail. The only prayer made by Shri Sudhakar Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioner is that the representation of the petitioner may be decided within a stipulated period of time. Shri Harshit Pandey, learned counsel for the respondent No.2 submits that the matter requires determination of facts by the competent authority in light of the applicable provisions of law in the first instance. However, he fairly contends that her service benefit regarding A.C.P. is liable to be decided by the competent authority in a reasonable time frame. In wake of the submissions made at the Bar and without going into the merits of the case, the respondent No.2- Nagar Ayukt, Nagar Nigam, Kanpur Nagar is directed to decide the representation of the petitioner regarding grant of Assured Career Progression in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order along with a fresh copy of the representation. However, in view of the delay on part of the petitioner for which no satisfactory explanation is offered, the petitioner shall not be entitled to interest on the amount. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of.
