JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a watcher under the first respondent. According to the petitioner, he is suffering from a neurological disorder and consequently he is incapable of performing the duties as a watchman. He gets epileptic fits rendering him incapable of withstanding the duties of a watchman. The petitioner has therefore requested the first respondent for a category change. Though Ext.P4 representation has been submitted to the first respondent, the petitioner complains that no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. Shri. G.Biju takes notice for the Travancore Devaswom Board. He assures that Ext.P4 would be considered expeditiously and orders passed without delay. 3. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the request of the petitioner contained in Ext.P4 representation, in accordance with WPC 27106/2011 2 law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
