This led to Exhibit P6 judgment, wherein, I had directed the Government to take a decision on the petitioner's representation, as early as possible. Subsequently, certain proposals were called for by the Director of Health Services. Petitioner has now filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents not to implement Exhibits P3 and P4 till the Government takes a decision on Exhibits P2 and P5 in the matter of protection of posts and service conditions of the Store Superintendents, Pharmacist/Store Keepers and other staff of the District Medical Stores in pursuance of Exhibit P7.

Exhibit P7 is the Minutes of a meeting chaired by the Director of Health Services. I do not find any reason to interdict further proceedings thereon as such. Hence the writ petition is dismissed.
