PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.25894 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT Having regard to the nature of the directions being issued hereunder, notice to respondents 1 and 2 is dispensed with, preserving their right to move for review of this judgment, if aggrieved. Learned senior Government Pleader appears for respondents 3 and 4. 2. The petitioner states that she was granted 135 days of Maternity Leave and later, respondents 1 and 2 reduced it to 90 days and directed her to rejoin duty. She complained about it to the third respondent. That complaint was forwarded to the 4th respondent for appropriate action. I wonder, why such a matter is being held up, particularly when it relates to the rejoining or continuance on leave of a woman employee on grounds of a claim for leave in the nature of maternity leave. The 4th respondent is, therefore, directed to take final decision on the matter forwarded to that officer as evidenced by Ext.P8 within WPC.25894/08 Page numbers one week of the production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge kkb.
