RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J .......................................... W.P.(C). 21667/2011 .......................................... Dated this the 12th August, 2011 JUDGMENT 1.Petitioner is a temporary licensee of AWD.No.VI at Thodupuzha. The last appointment was by way of Ext.P6 and the period thereof is till 16.8.2011. Petitioner sought renewal by submitting Ext.P7 application. According to the petitioner, her case has been recommended by the Officers also by way of Ext.P8. In spite of it, orders have not been passed on Ext.P7 and that led the petitioner to file this writ petition. 2.Learned Government Pleader, after obtaining instructions, confirms that order has not been passed on the application made by the petitioner. 3.Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has been holding the licence on a temporary basis since 2009, and no permanent arrangement has so far been made, if the petitioner is otherwise eligible, there is no reason why her request shall not be considered. W.P.(C).21667/2011 2 4.In the above view of the matter, I dispose of this writ petition directing the first respondent to pass orders on Ext.P7 application made by the petitioner, requesting for renewal of her temporary licence. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, on the production of a copy of this judgment. In the meantime, status quo as of now will be allowed to continue. 5.Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
