JUDGMENT The petitioners are Radiographers working in the Department of Radio-diagnosis, Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram. It is their case that the dual control system of all the hospital staff under the Director of Medical Education and the Director of Health Services was abolished and options were invited from various staff members and the deployment is complete. The only grievance is that a common seniority list has not been published. The apprehension of the petitioners is therefore, that promotions may be effected without considering the seniority and date of appointment/promotion. Seeking for appropriate action, the petitioners have filed Ext.P7 representation before the first respondent. 2. There will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P7 representation within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioners will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) 2 kav/
