SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 27730 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th October, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioners are working as drivers under the second respondent. They have been working as drivers on daily wages for a long period of time. Thereafter they were appointed as contingent staff by the Municipality. According to the petitioners, at the instance of some union leaders and other persons, there is frequent interference in the discharge of their duties without any authority. The petitioners are compelled to do other jobs, according to them with ulterior motives. The petitioners therefore submitted Ext.P3 representation to the second respondent. They complain that no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. I have heard the standing counsel for the Alappuzha Municipality. I am of the opinion that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners evidenced herein by Ext.P3 expeditiously. 3. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the representation submitted by the WPC 27730/2011 2 petitioners, evidenced herein by Ext.P3 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
