KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.10247 OF 2007 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of March, 2007 JUDGMENT Sri.Johnson P. John, Standing Counsel takes notice. 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that their seniority has been ignored by the KSRTC even in the matter of the promotions which became available after they had rejoined duty upon termination of leave without allowance which they had availed for taking up employment abroad. It appears to me that the issue is covered by various decision of this Court including Ext.P4 judgment. 3. Considering the grounds raised in the Writ Petition and the rival submissions made at the Bar, this Writ Petition will stand disposed of issuing the following directions: The KSRTC will take up Exts.P1 to P3, consider the same in the light of Ext.P4 and take decision on Exts.P1 to P3 at their earliest and at any rate within two weeks of receiving a copy of this judgment.
