SRI.K.S.ANIL ( KSEB) THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/12/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO. 32641 of 2006 ---------------------------------- Dated this 8th day of December, 2006 JUDGMENT I do not propose to examine the merits of the grounds raised. But, since Ext.P3 representation has been submitted by the petitioners before the first respondent- Board, it is only appropriate that the Board takes a decision on Ext.P3 at its earliest. Under these circumstances, the writ petition will stand disposed of with the following directions: The first respondent will take up Ext.P3, hear the representative of the petitioners and take a correct and just decision on Ext.P3 at its earliest and at any rate within three months of the petitioners making available a copy of this judgment together with copies of those exhibits upon which the petitioners want the first respondent Board to rely on.
