Facts

2. The brief facts of the case are that the respondent herein is an Assistant Engineer in Military Engineer Services, presently working in Thiruvananthapuram. She was recruited as Superintendent B/R on 09.11.1987. The said post was subsequently re-designated as Junior Engineer (Civil). She was promoted as Assistant Engineer on 23.11.2003 and is continuing as such. The respondent is deeply aggrieved by non-consideration of her claim for promotion as Executive Engineer. According to the respondent, an Assistant Engineer, after the residency period of eight years, is entitled to be considered for the post of Executive Engineer. She had qualified for the said post on 23.11.2011. However, she should have been considered against the vacancies from 2012-2013 to 2015-2016. She applied for information under the Right to Information Act and obtained the details.
