TO JUDGE VPV K. SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 32964 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th December, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as the Secretary of Kandanassery Grama Panchayat. He has filed this writ petition aggrieved by his posting to Vadakkekad Grama Panchayat as per Ext.P1 order. The case of the petitioner is that the Government is bound to keep 30 vacancies of Secretaries vacant for the purpose of accommodating employees who are continuing on suspension, who have to rejoin duty after their period of suspension is over. The petitioner has set out his grievances in detail in a representation, Ext.P3 submitted to the second respondent. He seeks the issue of appropriate orders for considering and passing orders on Ext.P3. 2. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. 3. I notice that Ext.P1 is an order of integration by which the Special Grade Secretaries as well as Junior Superintendents and Panchayat Inspectors have been integrated into a common cadre by name Secretary, Grama Panchayat. It is consequent to such integration that transfers and postings of the various employees have been necessitated by Ext.P1. Since the petitioner has already WPC 32964/2011 2 submitted his grievances in detail in respect of Ext.P1 to the second respondent, it is sufficient that the same is directed to be considered by the said authority. 4. This writ petition is in the above circumstances disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner set out in his representation, evidenced herein by Ext.P3 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
