SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 36559 OF 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd October, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioners are persons appointed on daily wages in the service of the Cochin Devaswom Board. According to the petitioners, they have been appointed after an interview. They have been working as such for varying periods, having been appointed to regular posts. The petitioners seek regularisation in service. They have produced Exts.P4, P4(a) and P5 orders to substantiate their claims. It is also pointed out that as per Ext.P6 the Board has regularised the services of another temple employee. The petitioners have submitted Ext.P7 representation setting out their grievances in detail. Ext.P7 is pending before the first respondent. However, no orders have been passed thereon till date. The petitioners therefore seek the issue of appropriate directions for consideration and disposal of Ext.P7. 2. I have heard the standing counsel for Cochin Devaswom Board also. 3. In view of the limited relief that is sought, I am of the opinion that this writ petition itself can be disposed of directing the WPC 36559/2010 2 first respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioners, expeditiously. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioners detailed in Ext.P7, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
