SUDHADEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss S. SIRI JAGAN, J --------------------------------------- WP(C) No.11728 of 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of June, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner was advised for appointment as Junior Health Inspector Grade II by the Public Service Commission. Pursuant to the same, the petitioner joined duty as Health Inspector Grade II in the Health Service Department on 1.4.1995. The petitioner was not given seniority, commensurate with his effective date of advice. Therefore, the petitioner approached this Court and pursuant to direction issued by this court, the petitioner was assigned rank No.12. The petitioner submitted an application to the respondent for inclusion in the seniority list for promotion and transfer appointment to the post of Deputy District Education and Media Officer under the Health Services Department . According to the petitioner, the petitioner is eligible for promotion and appointment to the said post. But the petitioner's name was not included in the seniority list prepared by the 1st respondent for appointment to the post of Health Inspector Grade II. The respondent himself has directed that those who have any grievance against the seniority list, they are free to file appeal. The petitioner, therefore, filed Ext.P4 appeal before the respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the WP(C) No.11728 of 2011 2 respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 expeditiously. 2. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and additional respondents 2 to 4, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
