JUDGMENT In this writ petition, the challenge is against Ext.P9 order passed by the Government. Therein, the Government rejected the request of the petitioner for extension of the joining time. There was a further direction to cancel the appointment order and to report the vacancy to the Public Service Commission as NJD vacancy. 2. This Court issued notice to the respondents on 21.10.2011 and the respondents have filed a statement justifying the order impugned. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had some personal difficulties, the details of which have been furnished by the petitioner by Ext.P11 representation, filed recently, seeking reconsideration of Ext.P9. It is pointed out that the petitioner could get the appointment after a long time through the Public Service Commission and if he is deprived of the same, it will put him in undue hardship. 4. I am not expressing anything on the merits of the claim raised by the petitioner. Since the petitioner seeks a reconsideration of Ext.P9, it is upto the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P11 representation. In wpc 27564/2011 2 that view of the matter, there will be a direction to the first respondent to take a decision on Ext.P11 with notice to the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
