1. Challenge in this petition is to an order dated 08.02.2024

2. Mr. Awadh Tripathi, learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner submits that vide order dated 22.01.2022 (Annexure-
P/02), the petitioner was appointed as Cluster Coordinator at
Korba. Thereafter, the petitioner was subsequently suspended
and, therefore, the impugned order (Annexure-P/01) was passed
as an adhoc arrangement. However, later on, the suspension of
the petitioner was revoked on 09.05.2024 (Annexure-P/07), but
still he is deprived from performing his work as Cluster
Coordinator. Learned counsel further submits that for redressal
of his grievance, the petitioner has preferred representations
dated 17.05.2024 (Annexure-P/8) and 22.05.2024
(Annexure-P/09), but both went in vain. Learned counsel also
submits that the appointment order of the petitioner dated
22.01.2022 (Annexure-P/02) is still in existence, therefore, the
impugned order dated 08.02.2024 (Annexure-P/01) is liable to be
set aside.
3. On the other hand, Mr. Rahul Tamaskar, learned State
counsel opposes the submissions made by the learned counsel
for the petitioner and submits that the petitioner has no absolute
right to be appointed on the post of Cluster Coordinator. He
further submits that the petitioner has already preferred
representations before the concerned authorities, which he may
purse for redressal of his grievance.

4. Be that as it may, this Court is of the opinion that as the
petitioner was earlier suspended and his suspension was
revoked, but he has made representations dated 17.05.2024
(Annexure-P/8) and 22.05.2024 (Annexure-P/09) ventilating his
grievance to appoint him on the post of Cluster Coordinator in
compliance of order dated 22.01.2022 (Annexure-P/02), the
respondent No.05 herein is hereby directed to consider and
decide the said representations of the petitioner preferably within
a period of six weeks from the date of production of copy of this
order. The petitioner is also at liberty to submit any additional
representation ventilating his grievance. It is expected that
respondents-authorities, particularly respondent No.05, shall
pass speaking order considering the grievance raised by the
petitioner in accordance with law.
5. With aforesaid observation and direction and without
expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this writ
petition stands disposed of.
6. In view of the above, all pending interlocutory applications
are also disposed of.
