The case of the petitioners is that they are working as Watchmen in the High Schools and Higher Secondary School of Sivagangai District under the control of the third and fourth respondents. They have been appointed through Employment Exchange. They are fully qualified to be appointed as Office Assistant. About 28 sanctioned post of Office Assistants are lying vacant in Sivagangai and Devakottai for more than two years. Hence, they approached the respondents to consider their case for appointing them as Office Assistants. However, the said representation was not considered and hence the petitioners have come up with the present Writ Petition for the relief stated earlier. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 08.02.2010 and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is ordered accordingly. No costs.
