Pursuant to the abolition of the dual control system the hospital staff attached to the hospitals under Directorate of Medical Education were given the right of option. According to the petitioner, he had opted the medical education service itself. The grievance of the petitioner is that his name is not included in Ext.P3 list that was prepared based on the option. In the said circumstances, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P5 representation before the first respondent. It is the delay on the part of the first respondent to consider Ext.P5 that made the petitioner to file this writ petition. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. Taking into account the fact that the petitioner has already moved Ext.P5 representation before the first respondent raising grievances against non-inclusion of his name in Ext.P3 this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and WP(C).No.18440/2011 2 pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
