SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.5542 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Statistical Investigator in Taluk Statistical Office, Taliparamba. He was originally a Lower Division Clerk in the Social Welfare Department. The petitioner got appointment in the Social Welfare Department by Ext.P1 order. His probation was also declared in the Social Welfare Department. Thereafter, by Ext.P3 order, he was appointed in the Department of Economics and Statistics. The petitioner now wants to go back to the Social Welfare Department. According to the petitioner, his lien still continues with the Social Welfare Department and therefore, he is entitled to go back to the parent department under Rule 8 of Part II of KS & SSR. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation before the second respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the second W.P.(C)No.5542/11 2 respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
