RAVIKUMAR, J. ------------------------------ W.P © NO. 11444 OF 2010 ----------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 6TH DAY OF APRIL 2010 JUDGMENT ----------------- The petitioners are working as Upper Division Clerks under the Public Works Department. Feeling aggrieved by the Ext.P18 final seniority list published as per order dated 16.3.2010, the petitioners have preferred Ext.P19 series of statutory representations and those representations can be construed only as having made under Rule 27B of general rules of Kerala State & Subordinate Service Rules. Petitioners have taken all the claims and contentions against their present assignment of seniority as also against the illegalities and irregularities crept in Ext. P8 final seniority list. Since Ext. P19 series are statutory representations filed under Rule 27B of Part II of KS &SSR, the 1st respondent is bound to consider the same and pass orders thereon. I, therefore, direct the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P19 series of representations and pass orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate within four months from the date of receipt of copy of this W.P © NO. 11444 OF 2010 2 judgment. The persons who are likely to be affected shall also be given notice before passing orders on Ext. P19 representations. C.T. RAVIKUMAR JUDGE pkk
