By Ext.P1order, he was posted at Sree Krishnaswamy Temple, Neyyattinkara. However, in an appeal filed by the fourth respondent giving him the benefit of Ext.P4 and the guidelines contained in the order dated 2.3.2002, the second respondent passed Ext.P2 order posting the fourth respondent to Sree Krishnaswamy Temple, Neyyattinkara. This order was passed without hearing the petitioner and also without taking note of the judgment in W.P.(C) No.12197 of 2009 dated 18.6.2009. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. 2. Heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents also. 3. In view of the facts as noticed above, I feel the matter needs to be considered by the second respondent. For this reason and also taking note of the submission made by the learned standing counsel, the fourth respondent has already taken charge in pursuance to Ext.P2, I direct the petitioner to file an appropriate WPC No.21565/2010 2 representation before the second respondent in which event the second respondent shall consider the representation with notice to the petitioner and the fourth respondent and pass orders thereon. I also direct that if a representation is filed within two weeks from today, the second respondent shall consider the same and pass orders thereon in the manner as directed above as expeditiously as possible at any rate, within a period of four weeks thereafter. The petitioner shall produce copies of this judgment and the writ petition before the second respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
