Holding
The petition was disposed of without granting relief due to the failure to annex the requisite circular.
Summary
Petitioner Ramveer Singh filed a writ petition seeking the grant of a selection grade, alleging that the concerned authority had not decided the matter. The petition was filed without attaching the circular that purportedly supported his claim. The Court observed this procedural defect but chose not to dismiss the petition outright. Instead, it directed that if the matter remains pending with the respondents, it should be decided expeditiously.
