RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO JUDGE Kss C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No.18239 of 2011 ---------------------------- Dated 12th July, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are provisional drivers working on daily wage basis under Sub-Road Transport Office, Ponnani and Sub-Road Transport Office, Perinthalmanna respectively. It is apprehending termination from the service that they filed this writ petition. The contention of the petitioners is that the respondents have taken steps to induct a fresh set of daily rated employees in place of the petitioners and similarly situated persons. In the said circumstances, they have submitted Ext.P2 representation before the third respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the third respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and also the learned Government Pleader. Considering the fact that the petitioners have already approached the third respondent by filing Ext.P2 representation raising their claims and contentions I do not propose to consider the contentions raised in this writ petition, on merits, at this stage. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the third WP(C).No.18239/2011 2 respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
