SRI.K.GOPALAKRISHNA KURUP,SC,COCHIN D.B FOR R1 GOVT.PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 14938 OF 2009 (J) ===================== Dated this the 9th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioners claim to be Overseers Grade II under the 1st respondent. In this writ petition they seek a direction for consideration of Exts.P4 to P7, where they seek regularization in the service under the 1st respondent. 2. According to the petitioners, the representations have been considered and the stand taken by the Board is that since they have decided to entrust recruitment to the PSC, they are not in a position to consider the request of the petitioners. 3. Petitioners state that apart from taking a decision as above, the recruitments have not still been left to the PSC as stated in Ext.P8. If that be the factual position, the mere fact that a decision, even if taken, cannot stand in the way of the Board considering the claim. It is so clarified. Taking into account the limited nature of the relief that is sought for and without expressing anything on the merits raised, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to WPC 14938/09 :2 : consider Exts.P4 to P7 on merits. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
