TO JUDGE Mn C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No.21141 of 2011 ---------------------------- Dated 3rd August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Junior Public Health Nurse under the first respondent. Pursuant to the abolition of the dual control system the petitioner and the third respondent opted for absorption into the Medical Education Service. The petitioner has also sought for a posting in Medical College, Kottayam or in any of the institutions under the Directorate of Medical Education in Kottayam District. The grievance of the petitioner is that ignoring her seniority the third respondent was given a posting at Medical College Hospital, Kottayam under the Directorate of Medical Education, as per Ext.P2. Feeling aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 representation dated 5.12.2010 before the first respondent through proper channel. The said representation was duly forwarded to the first respondent as per Ext.P4 . It is the inaction on the part of the first respondent despite the receipt of Ext.P3 that constrained the petitioner to file this writ petition. Since the petitioner has already raised her grievances against Ext.P2 through Ext.P3 before the first respondent and the same is pending consideration before the first respondent, WP(C).No.21141/2011 2 without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner as also the third respondent.
