Raman, J: The application is filed for granting sanction for creation of two posts of Record Assistants in the Travancore Devaswom oard. Since 2005, the work is being carried out through two Record Assistants, who have been employed on daily wage basis, after obtaining permission of this Court as per the order in DBA No.8 of 2005. It is stated that continuance of such adhoc arrangement may not be feasible and that it is not in the best interest of the Board. Hence they sought for creation of two permanent posts of Record Assistants. 2. The matter was referred to the Ombudsman, who submitted a detailed report after issuing notices and hearing the parties. It is reported that there is no objection on behalf of the D.B.A. No. 59 OF 2009 2 Government for creation of the said posts. The Ombudsman has also recommended for creation of the said posts. In the said circumstances, steps shall be taken for creation of two posts of Record Assistants in the Travancore Devaswom Board, as recommended by the Ombudsman, as expeditiously as possible. The Travancore Devaswom Board shall prescribe the qualification and mode of appointment to the said post. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. lk
