HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28741 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner states that she was engaged as Work Inspector, on outsourcing basis by the 5th respondent. It is stated that she applied for maternity leave for a period of 4 months on 06-04-2010. Stating that the 5th respondent is not permitting her to join duty on completion of maternity leave, she submitted a representation dated 26-07-2010 to the 1st respondent. Her grievance is that no orders have been passed thereon. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. The question as to whether the petitioner is entitled for any maternity leave, if so, whether she was granted any such leave, and whether she is entitled to re-join duty, needs to be examined. It also needs to be verified as to whether any orders have been passed against the petitioner, ever since she absented from the duties with or without leave. The representation made by the petitioner cannot be kept pending indefinitely. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation dated 06-04-2010 made by the petitioner, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 29, 2010. Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. B/O. KTL
