PLEADER SHRI.NISHA BOSE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 27932 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 9th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Lower Primary School Assistant in the 4th respondent's school, whose appointment has been approved by the 2nd respondent. Originally upto 2008-09 in the seniority lists prepared, the petitioner was shown above respondents 5 to 7. But in the seniority list prepared for 2009-10, the petitioner was shown below respondents 5 to 7. According to the petitioner, this is deliberately done by the manager of the school to help respondents 5 to 7 from being retrenched on division fall. Consequently, the petitioner has been retrenched as the junior most. In the above circumstances, against the seniority list, the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 petition before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as respondents 4 to 7, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
