GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI. K.C. SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 21981 of 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th July, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners are Headload workers registered under the Kerala Headload Workers Act, 1978 in the Chalikkadavu Unit of Parli Panchayat in the district of Palakkad. They are members of the AITUC union. They challenge the registration that has been granted to respondents 3 to 12. The petitioner’s union, the AITUC, Palakkad Jilla Chumattu Thozhilali Union objected to the applications for registration submitted by respondents 3 to 12. They had also filed W.P.(C) No.32329 of 2009 before this Court. The said Writ Petition was disposed of directing that the objections of the petitioners be considered after hearing them also. Thereafter, the petitioners were heard, but, overruling their objections registration has been granted to respondents 3 to 12. The petitioners have submitted Ext.P5 appeal before the first respondent challenging the said action of the second respondent. The petitioners complain that Ext.P5 has not been disposed of wpc No.21981/2010 2 till date and therefore seeks appropriate directions for an early disposal thereof. 2. In view of the limited relief that is sought for, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the other respondents. I have heard the learned Government Pleader. He has no objection to Ext.P5 being directed to be disposed of expeditiously. 3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P5 appeal submitted by the petitioners in accordance with law and to pass final orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing all interested persons.
