J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a regular Staff Nurse Grade II, who had been sanctioned leave without allowances for a period of five years, which was availed of by her. The leave expired on 18.1.2011 AN. Though she sought for an extension of her leave on 12.1.2011 as per Ext.P4, no orders were passed thereon. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted Ext.P6 requesting that she may be permitted to rejoin duty with effect from the FN of 1.7.2011. According to the petitioner, no orders have been passed on Ext.P6 also. The counsel for the petitioner seeks the issue of appropriate directions to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. WP(C).No. 25523/2011-M. 2 3. In view of the limited relief that is sought, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the request of the petitioner contained in Ext.P6 representation in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
