NO. 12116 OF 2007 P -------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th April, 2007 JUDGMENT Case of the petitioner is that she had worked as Lab Attender in the School of fourth respondent from 23.11.1992 to 31.1.1994 and the said appointment was approved and she was paid salary. As per the amendment to KER which came into effect from 25.6.2005, retrenched incumbent can be inducted in the same, higher or lower category for which she is qualified, in future vacancies. It is stated that a vacancy of Menial has arisen from 1.4.2007. Petitioner staked her claim. But, the fourth respondent has not acceded to it. Heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the nature of the order that I propose to pass, I think it is not necessary to issue notice to the respondents. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the fourth respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P4 in accordance with law, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment.
