TO JUDGE JP S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No. 3115 of 2008(U) ======================= Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners claim to be head load workers of Pazhinjikuzhi area in Perinkadavila Village. They submit that they have submitted applications for registration under Rule 26 A of Kerala Headload Workers Act and those applications have been registered by the 2nd respondent, as evidenced from Ext.P1. Petitioners' contention is that their applications have not been considered and orders passed yet. The respondents 3 to 5 submit that the petitioners are not employed as headload workers of the area and they are not eligible for registration. That is a matter which the 1st respondent has to consider while passing orders on applications submitted by the petitioners for registration. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: The 1st respondent shall consider and pass orders on the applications submitted by the petitioners registered as per W.P.(C) No. 3115/2008/U -2- Ext.P1 and pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The respondents 3 to 5 shall also be heard in the matter before passing orders. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
