The petitioners, while working as Junior Foreman (Binding) and Assistant Foreman (Binding), were promoted as Senior Foreman (Binding) and Junior Foreman (Binding) as per Ext.P1. After occupying the above post for sometime, they were reverted as per Ext.P2. According to the Petitioners, the reversion was without any notice to them. In W.P.(C). 5228/2008, this Court had directed the Government to hear the appeal filed by one General Foreman. It is pointed out that one Sasikumaran Nair who was working as General Foreman is continuing in that post. In such circumstances, petitioners have sought for a re- consideration of the orders of reversion by filing Exts.P3 and P4 before the second respondent. There will be a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass W.P.(C).12497/2008 2 orders on Exts.P3 and P4 within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
