J U D G M E N T The petitioners are Lady Village Extension Officers Grade II in Rural Development Department of the Government of Kerala. They were advised by the Public Service Commission to the post on 6.8.2004. On 22.12.2009, the 1st respondent published a provisional district-wise seniority list of Lady Village Extension Officers Grade II who were appointed during the period from 1.1.2000 to 31.12.2004. The petitioners were not included therein. Against the same, the petitioners filed objections. On the basis of the representations filed by the petitioners, the 2nd respondent allegedly circulated a letter to all the Assistant Development Commissioner (Generals) instructing that the petitioners are eligible to be placed between Sl. Nos. 124 and 125 in the seniority list as Sl. Nos. 124(A) and 124(B). However, in Ext. P3 final seniority list, the petitioners' names did not find a place. According to the petitioners, Sl. No. 125 Smt. Sujaya. R was advised on 28.9.2004, after the petitioners were advised on 6.8.2004 and therefore the petitioners are eligible to be included in the seniority list above the said Smt. Sujaya. R. The petitioners have filed Exts.P7 and P7(a) representations pointing out these facts and seeking appropriate reliefs in that regard. For the present, the petitioners would be satisfied with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider Exts.P7 and P7(a) representations filed by the petitioners expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts. P7 and P7(a), after affording an opportunity W.P(C).No. 37603/10. -: 2 :- of being heard to the petitioners as well as others who may be affected by inclusion of the petitioners in the seniority list as requested by them, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
