As per Ext.P1 Order, the Government directed regularisation of 137 Last Grade employees in the Colleges under the Sree Narayana Trust. Based on Ext.P1 Government Order, petitioners also submitted Ext.P2 representation seeking similar benefit. Ext.P2 has been forwarded for consideration by the first respondent. Although the petitioners submitted a reminder on 16.6.2006, Ext.P2 has not been considered yet. Therefore, the petitioners have filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P2. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the above facts and circumstances, there would a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass W.P.(C).29030/2007 2 appropriate orders on Ext.P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 3. Petitioners would be free to rely on Ext.P1 or any other document which would support the petitioners' case for which petitioners shall be afforded an opportunity of being heard.
