PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No.18165 of 2009 ================== Dated this the 14th day of July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are daily wage workers employed in the Buffalo Breeding Farm, Kuriyottumala in Kollam District. According to them, although similarly placed workers employed in the farm under the Agricultural Directorate are being regularised in service, the petitioners are not being considered for the same benefit, although they have crossed the maximum age limit prescribed for Government employment. In the above circumstances, the petitioners have filed Ext.P1 representation before the 1st respondent through proper channel. The petitioners seek a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 expeditiously. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that Ext.P1 has been received and it has been forwarded to the 1st respondent for appropriate orders in the matter. 3. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1 representation, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to a representative of the petitioners. Till orders are thus passed on Ext.P1 2 by the 1st respondent, the interim order passed on 30.6.2009 in the writ petition would continue to be in force.
