IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P.N.RAVINDRAN MONDAY, THE 15TH JUNE 2009 / 25TH JYAISHTA 1931 WP(C).No. 16389 of 2009(P) -------------------------- PETITIONER: --------------- T.K.SIVAPRASAD, TALUK SUPPLY OFFICER, THALAPPILLY, THRISSUR DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.R.RAJASEKHARAN PILLAI RESPONDENTS: --------------- 1. THE STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY, FOOD AND CIVIL SUPPLIES DEPARTMENT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 2. THE COMMISSIONER, FOOD AND CIVIL SUPPLIES, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 3. THE DIRECTOR, FOOD AND CIVIL SUPPLIES, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY SRI.GOVT. PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ----------------------------- W.P(C) No. 16389 of 2009-P ------------------------------ Dated this the 15th day of June, 2009. J U D G M E N T Heard Sri.R.Rajasekharan Pillai, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Smt.Anu Sivaraman, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. The petitioner, who is presently working as Taluk Supply Officer, has filed this writ petition aggrieved by the inclusion of his name in the list appended to Ext.P2. Ext.P2 states those employees who are aggrieved by the inclusion of their name in the list should file their objections within ten days from the date on which it was published. Ext.P3 discloses that the petitioner has filed a representation dated 1.6.2009 before the Commissioner of Civil Supplies objecting to the inclusion of his name in Ext.P2 list. In my opinion since the Commissioner of Civil Supplies is yet to take a final decision on Ext.P3 it would be premature for this Court going into the merits of the petitioner's contentions at this stage. Ext.P1 is the guidelines governing deputation of officers of the Civil Supplies Department to the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation. If guidelines have been violated or if the petitioner has any other grievance, it is for him to bring them to the Commissioner for Civil Supplies. Therefore, leaving open the petitioner's W.P(C) No. 16389 of 2009-P 2 contentions, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Director of Civil Supplies to consider the objections raised by the petitioner in Ext.P3 and take a decision thereon after affording him a reasonable opportunity of being beard. A decision on Ext.P3 shall be taken expeditiously and in any event before the petitioner is sent on deputation. Sd/- P.N.RAVINDRAN JUDGE //True Copy// PA to Judge ab
