RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.30537 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of November 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are daily wages employees working at the Government Taluk Head Quarters Hospital, Sulthan Bathery in Wayanad District. According to the petitioners, they had joined duty after being selected for such appointment by the Superintendent in Government Taluk Head Quarters Hospital, Sulthan Bathery, after a personal interview conducted on various dates. The petitioners further contend that they have been working efficiently and to the satisfaction of their superiors, ever since. 2. While so, the Hospital Development authority convened a meeting of the Hospital Management Committee on 17.10.2011. At the said meeting, a decision was taken to terminate the employees on daily wages and to recruit new persons by conducting a fresh WPC No.30537/2011 2 interview. Though the petitioners have represented to the Superintendent of the hospital against the said move, no orders have been passed by the said authority. Therefore, they have filed this writ petition seeking the issue of appropriate orders. 3. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 4. According to the counsel for the petitioners, Ext.P4 is one of the representations submitted by the petitioners. The same is pending before the third respondent. 5. Since Ext.P4 is pending consideration of the third respondent, it is only appropriate that the grievances of the petitioners are considered by the authority, expeditiously. 6. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the third respondent to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners, evidenced herein by Ext.P4, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible WPC No.30537/2011 3 and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioners as well as the first respondent.
