VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sts S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.36306 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of December, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners are aggrieved by the delay in finalisation of Exts.P3 and P5 provisional seniority list of Head Constables (Local) of Pathanamthitta District. According to the petitioners, this Court has, by Ext.P8 judgment, laid down the guidelines for preparation of the seniority list. On 6.12.2010, I directed the Government Pleader to get instructions as to how much time would be required for finalising the seniority list. The learned Government Pleader now submits that at least six months' time would be required. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to see that Exts.P3 and P5 provisional seniority list are finalised as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
