J U D G M E N T The petitioner was originally a Nursery School Teacher in the 4th respondent-Grama Panchayat. She has been asked to work as Librarian. The petitioner submits that the petitioner is entitled to regularisation in the post of Librarian as also the scale of pay as applicable to other Librarians under the Panchayat. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Ext. P8 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P8 expeditiously. 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. P8, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It would be open to the petitioner to rely upon Exts.P4 and P5 Government Orders or any other material in support of her case, the applicability of which shall also be considered by the 1st respondent while passing orders. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
