The respondents have decided to prepare a seniority list of persons like the petitioner for engaging them as Casual Workers. Originally Ext.P1 list was prepared in which the name of the petitioner was included as serial No.9 with rank No.9. The same was forwarded to the 3rd respondent who prepared Ext.P2 seniority list and the 3rd respondent forwarded the same to the 2nd respondent for preparing a state-wide seniority list. However while preparing Ext.P3 state-wide seniority list the name of the petitioner was omitted to be included. According to the petitioner, the petitioner's name should have appeared in that list between serial Nos.328 & 329. In respect thereof the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation. The W.P.(C)No. 6772 of 2011 -2- petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 as expeditiously as possible. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Any proceedings taken on the basis of Ext.P3 list would be subject to the result of the orders on Ext.P6 by the 1st respondent, and shall be reviewed in accordance with the decision on Ext.P6, if the decision is in favour of the petitioner.
