He has passed B.com, Typewriting (English & Malayalam) and also a course in Computer Word Processing. He is qualified to be appointed as L.D.Typist in the Devaswom Board. 2. He, therefore, submitted an application, Ext.P4, for considering him for category change. Apparently, that has been recommended by the Assistant Devaswom Commissioner and the Devaswom Commissioner, as evidenced by Exts.P2 and P3. But a decision is yet to be taken in this regard and Ext.P4 is pending. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel for the Travancore Devaswom Board Sri.D.Sreekumar. He submits that 22% vacancies in the post of L.D.Typists and similar posts is set apart for low paid employees of the Devaswom Board. Petitioner's case will also be considered against the said 22% vacancies. W.P.(C)No.3629/2008 2 3. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the petitioner's request under Ext.P4, in the light of Exts.P2 and P3, and an appropriate decision may be taken in that regard, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
