Shortly, after its publication the petitioner has preferred Ext.P2 representation on 29.9.2007. Subsequently, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P3 dated 24.2.2007 and lastly the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 appeal dated 17.6.2011 to redress the grievance against her assignment of seniority in Ext.P1. The contention of the petitioner is that despite the receipt of Exts.P2 to P4 no steps have been taken by the respondents to consider her grievances raised against Ext.P1. Considering the fact that the petitioner has already approached the first respondent through Exts.P2 to P4 and while considering the grievance of the petitioner persons likely to be effected are also to be put on notice. I am of the view that it will only be appropriate for the first respondent to look into the grievance of the petitioner in accordance with law. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of WPC.18139/2011 : 2 : with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts.P2 to P4, in accordance with law, with notice to the petitioner and also to person/persons likely to be affected in case an order in favour of the petitioner is passed, on Exts.P2 to P4. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
