ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.13569 of 2010 (U) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 4th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner, who is working as Assistant Town Planner in the Regional Town Planning Office, Ernakulam, applied for long leave for undertaking further studies. By Ext.P6, she was permitted to undergo two years training programme in Post Graduate Degree Court in Town and Country Planning by availing leave without allowance for the period of course under Rule 91, Part-I, KSR. Accordingly, she entered on leave and subsequently Ext.P9 was issued, granting leave without allowance during the training period, subject to the conditions as laid down in Appendix XII B, Part-I, KSR. It was thereupon that the petitioner submitted Ext.P10 representation to the Government requesting that the period spent by her be treated as deputation with all service benefits. The representation was not considered and therefore, the writ petition has been filed. 2. Even as of now, the petitioner complains that the representation remains pending before the 2nd respondent and WP(C) No.13569/2010 -2- therefore, the petitioner seeks a direction for consideration of Ext.P10. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P10 representation and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment This writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
