P (C) No. 26379 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 4th September, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Peon in the Agriculture Department of the Government of Kerala. He claims to be qualified for the purpose of appointment by transfer as a mechanic. The petitioner applied for the same. However, his candidature was rejected on the ground that the petitioner is a diploma holder and does not have work experience. According to the petitioner, similarly placed persons have already been appointed as mechanics. Although the petitioner approached this Court earlier in which his review petition has been directed to be considered, the 2nd respondent rejected the claim of the petitioner. In the above circumstances, the petitioner filed Ext. P15 appeal before the Government. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on the same. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P15 appeal, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1st respondent for compliance. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
