Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as a matter of fact, Ext.P2 was later cancelled under Ext.P4 and the petitioner was not included in Ext.P4. The learned Senior Government Pleader submits that the petitioner's non inclusion in Ext.P4 is only because under Ext.P2, orders that had already been passed according sanction for the deputation of the petitioner. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that persons who are included at the top of the seniority list, Ext.P4, are yet to be deputed. Petitioner's objection to his deputation is now contained in Ext.P7 pending before the Director of Civil Supplies. 3. Counter affidavit has been filed by the second respondent supporting the deputation of the petitioner. W.P.(C).2412/2008 2 4. After having heard both sides, I am of the view that the petitioner's objection may be considered at the earliest. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 at the earliest, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
