TO JUDGE JP S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ======================= W.P.(C) No.30748 of 2007 ======================= Dated this the 13th day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT In this writ petition, the petitioner's grievance is that petitioner's application for leave and no objection to join a foreign employment has not been duly considered by the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Exts. P3 and P4 in this regard. The learned standing counsel for the University submits that the petitioner is not entitled to the leave applied for, since he is occupying only a temporary post. It is a matter which the 2nd respondent has to consider while disposing of the Exts. P3 and P4, and I am not expressing any opinion on that now. 2. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exts. P3 and P4 as expeditiously as W.P.(C) No.30748/2007 -2- possible at any rate, within one month, from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. The order shall also be communicated to the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
