J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a driver in the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. On account of defect in his hearing, the petitioner applied for deployment for light duty. He was granted light duty till 19.11.2008 by Ext.P4 order. His grievance in this writ petition is that after completion of that period, his application for extension of light duty is not being considered. The petitioner has therefore filed Ext.P5 application in this regard. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the K.S.R.T.C. also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 3rd respondent for compliance. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
