JUDGMENT The petitioner aspires for acceptance of her option to the Medical Education Department, consequent to the policy of the Government to discontinue the dual control system of the employees of the Health Department. In the list of optees to the Medical Education Department petitioner is just below the 4th respondent. According to the petitioner the 4th respondent has already expressed a desire to withdraw his option to the Medical Eduction Department because of health reasons. Petitioner would contend that in that event the petitioner would be eligible to be considered for acceptance of option to Medical Education Department in the place of the 4th respondent. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Ext.P1 representation before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 expeditiously. Having heard learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and 4th respondent as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of 2 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
