PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 5264 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 21st day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims that she is working as an Accountant in Kudumbashree CDS, which is a project of the State Poverty Eradication Mission. According to the petitioner, she joined as such, in the year 2000 for a paltry sum of ` 500/- per month as salary, at a time when there was no-one to take up the employment on such low wages. Now the salary has been increased to ` 5000/-. Now overlooking the claim of the petitioner, applications have been invited for direct recruitment to various posts including that of the petitioner. The petitioner is aggrieved by the same. The petitioner seeks the following reliefs: “(i) issue a writ of certiorari or other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondents not to disturb the appointment of the petitioner as Accountant in Kudumbashree CDS, Shornur; (ii) issue a writ of certiorari or other appropriate writ, order or direction calling for the records leading to Ext.P6 and Ext.P6 in so far as it concerns Kudumbashree CDS, Shornur.” But for the present, the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously. 2. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P3, as expeditiously as possible, w.p.c.5264/11 2 before regular appointments are made. I further make it clear that notwithstanding the above direction, it would be open to the petitioner to file application pursuant to the notification inviting applications and the above direction will not stand in the way of the respondents in considering the petitioner's application also.
