BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 36858 of 2007 -------------------------- Dated this the 13th December, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was advised to the post of Attender Gr.II as per Exhibit-P1 and was posted in the Government Press as per Exhibit-P2. For lack of vacancy he was retrenched. He submitted Exhibit-P3 representation in this behalf pointing out vacancies in the Government Press, Trivandrum. It was not considered. He approached this Court in W. P (C ) No.26738 of 2007. The same was disposed of under Exhibit P5 judgment requiring the Director of Printing to take note of the petitioner’s grievance. Apparently, the petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that though there are 14 vacancies in Government Press in Trivandrum, as evidenced by Exhibit-P7, he is not being accommodated in any of the vacancies. In my view, it is open to the petitioner to move the Government. In the circumstances, if the petitioner files a representation before the 2nd respondent, within three weeks from today, inter alia highlighting Clause 4 of Exhibit P4, the Government shall look into the same and take a decision thereon, within one month thereafter, after hearing the petitioner.
