NO.19960 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Junior Health Inspector Grade-II at Primary Health Centre, Meloor. Pursuant to the abolition of the dual control system in medical colleges, the second respondent issued Ext.P1 circular dated 26.11.2008 based on G.O.(P)No.548/2008/H & F.W.D dated 25.10.2008. Subsequently, the petitioner submitted Ext.P2 option before the second respondent through the third respondent to absorb him into the Department of Medical Education as Junior Health Inspector Grade-II. The grievance of the petitioner is that in the list prepared subsequently, his name was not included. In the said circumstances, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 representation before the first respondent. It is the inaction on Ext.P4 that constrained the petitioner to approach this Court by filing this Writ Petition. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. Exts.P2 and P3 would reveal that the petitioner has exercised option pursuant to the abolition of dual control W.P.(C) NO.19960 of 2011 2 system in medical colleges. Raising grievances against the non-inclusion in the subsequent list, the petitioner has already preferred Ext.P4 and it is now pending before the first respondent. In the said circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the claim of the petitioner for getting himself included in the list, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
