He was desirous of getting a posting in the Thiruvallom Devaswom. But, he submits, ignoring his superior claim, the 4th respondent has been posted there. Feeling aggrieved by the order posting the said respondent in the Thiruvallom Devaswom, which is produced as Ext.P7, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P10 appeal, produced along with IA No.8168/07, before the Devaswom Board,. The petitioner prays, the Devaswom Board may be directed to consider his grievances raised in Ext.P10. 2. I heard the learned Standing Counsel for the Devaswom Board also. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P10 in accordance with law within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. If, as a result of disposing of Ext.P10, the rights of respondents 4 to 6 are likely to be affected, they shall be furnished with a copy of Ext.P10 and also the reasons of the Board for accepting the petitioner's claim, raised therein and they shall be given an opportunity to represent, before final orders are passed on Ext.P10. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. 18.06.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
