They were so appointed under the compassionate employment scheme. According to them, at the time of appointment itself the petitioners were qualified to be appointed as Typists. Although there were posts of Typists available, the petitioners allege that those posts were converted to some other posts and persons were appointed without giving promotion to the petitioners to those posts. In the above circumstances, the petitioners have filed Ext.P8 representation before the respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 as expeditiously as possible. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the W.P.(C)No. 2548 of 2011 -2- respondent. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
