RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL. //TRUE COPY// P.S. TO JUDGE rs S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 15636 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 30th day of June, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was selected by the Public Service Commission for appointment to the post of Draftsman Gr.I/Overseer Gr.I (Civil) in the Irrigation Department. But originally the petitioner was advised to an identical post in the Local Self Government Department. On objections from the petitioner, subsequently, the petitioner's earlier advice was cancelled and he was given advice to the Irrigation Department and he has been appointed pursuant to the said advice. The petitioner now submits that he is entitled to effective date of advice and seniority with effect from the original date of advice. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Ext.P11 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P11, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and others who may affected by the claim of the petitioner.
