JUDGEMENT

(1.) D. S. Sinha, J. Heard Sri A. K. Gaur, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri Vinay Malviya, the learned standing Counsel of the State of U. P. representing the respondents.

(2.) BY means of instant writ petition, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner urges this Court to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to grant to her personal promotion to the post of Reader and its scale of pay.

(3.) THE petitioner completed the requisite 13 years of satisfactory continuous service, a condition precedent for grant of personal promotion to the post and scale of Reader, on February 25, 1987. Despite the fact that the petitioner had completed requisite 13 years of satisfactory continuous service, she was not granted the benefit of personal promotion to the post of Reader and the scale of the pay of the said post. This led her to make a representation on January 24, 1989, which was duly recommended by the Principal of the Medical College. THE representation of the petitioner went unheeded compelling her to approach this Court through instant writ petition.
