The service books were later on found out from the well near the school. However, it has been damaged. The educational officer, by Ext.P3 dated 27.11.2007, directed reconstruction of the service books based on the old one which is damaged. Petitioners' grievance is that in spite of the same, nothing is happened. In the above circumstances, the petitioners have filed representations before the Deputy Director of Education which are produced as Ext.P2 in each of the writ petition. The petitioners now seek expeditious disposal of Ext.P2. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider W.P.(C) Nos. 5803 & 5807/2008/N -2- Ext.P2 in each of the writ petition, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
