THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 28062 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 7th October, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner applied to the 2nd respondent-Society for appointment to the post of Attender. The petitioner submits that he has been included in the rank list, but behind respondents 3 and 4. The first ranked person, namely, the 3rd respondent was appointed. Subsequently, he took long leave for study purposes. In the resultant leave vacancy, the 2nd ranked person, the 4th respondent herein, was appointed. The grievance of the petitioner now is that the 2nd respondent has extended the validity of the rank list dated 30-9-2006 without jurisdiction so as to first promote the 3rd respondent to the post of Junior Clerk and then to confirm the 4th respondent in the post of Attender. The petitioner submits that this is illegal and against Rule 185 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules. Detailing her grievances, the petitioner has filed Ext. P2 petition before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P 2 expeditiously. 2. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to respondents 2 to 4 at this juncture. The learned Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the 1st respondent. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and respondents 2 to 4.
