SMT.MOLLY JACOB,SC,SUPPLYCO THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ----------------------------- W.P(C) No.3665 of 2009-J ------------------------------ Dated this the 25th day of June, 2009. J U D G M E N T Heard Sri.George Poonthottam, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, Sri.Sandesh Raja, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent, Sri.Alexander Thomas, the learned standing counsel appearing for the second respondent and Smt.Molly Jacob, the learned standing counsel appearing for the third respondent. 2. The petitioners are employees of the third respondent Corporation. The grievance voiced in this writ petition is that the promotion rules forwarded by the third respondent have not so far been approved by the Government. The pleadings disclose that the Government have sought the opinion of the Kerala Public Service Commission in the matter and that the Kerala Public Service Commission has in turn requested the third respondent to forward a copy of the Managerial Service Rules 2005. A letter in that regard was sent by the Kerala Public Service Commission to the third respondent on 3.3.2009. The Government can take a decision in the matter only after the Kerala Public Service Commission forwards its opinion to the Government. I accordingly dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: W.P(C) No.3665 of 2009-J 2 The third respondent shall within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment from the petitioner forward to the Kerala Public Service Commission a copy of the Managerial Service Rules 2005 and any other material sought by the Kerala Public Service Commission. The Kerala Public Service Commission shall forward its opinion to the State Government expeditiously and in any event by 31st of December 2009. The Government shall on receipt of the views of the Commission take a final decision in the matter expeditiously. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
