It is not necessary to decide the validity of the said direction in this writ petition. 2. The petitioners have sought for registration under Para 6A(1) of the Scheme as per Ext.P6. The said applications have not been considered. Hence this writ petition. 3. I heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the 1st respondent Welfare Fund Board and learned counsel for the Kerala State Beverages Corporation. 4. The application submitted by the petitioners Ext.P6 shall be considered by the registering authority within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 5. In the meanwhile, if the 4th respondent requires further registered workers and there are inadequate number of workers registered under W.P.(C).No.23358 of 2009 :: 3 :: the scheme, then the 1st respondent shall consider the case of those workers, who are already registered under the Scheme and shall take appropriate decision, taking into account the petitioners' case also. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
