RAVIKUMAR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P(C) No.21481 of 2011-I. = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 8th August, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner who is presently working as Secretary, Malayatoor-Neeleswaram Grama Panchayat filed this writ petition seeking for a direction to the 2nd respondent to rectify the mistakes in the seniority list of Head Clerks and Secretaries of Grama Panchayats, as per Ext.P4. According to the petitioner, in Ext.P4, persons who have been consistently shown as juniors to the petitioner were assigned seniority over him. To substantiate that contention the petitioner has produced Exts.P1 to P3. Ext.P4 is the final seniority list of Head Clerks and Secretaries of Grama Panchayats, published on 9.11.2010. Grievance/objections against such a finalised list would lie before the Government. In fact, the petitioner has already preferred Ext.P7 objection before the Government. Ext.P7 has to be treated as a petition submitted under Rule 27B of W.P(C) No.21481/2011-I. 2 Part II, KS & SSR. In the said circumstance, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7, in accordance with law, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
