SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.24901 of 2003 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 22nd day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was a U.P. School Assistant in the 3rd respondent's school. He filed this writ petition apprehending retrenchment on the basis of staff fixation for the year 2003-04. The petitioner was not able to obtain any stay. It appears that, the petitioner was subsequently retrenched for want of vacancy. The petitioner filed I.A. No.12303/2003 seeking amendment of the writ petition incorporating challenge against subsequent orders also. But that was not brought up before the court and consequently the same was never considered or allowed. The petitioner did not notice the same. When the matter was taken up for hearing today, the petitioner submits that, for the present the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the 1st respondent-Government of Kerala to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 representation filed by the petitioner in the matter. W.P.(C)No.24901 of 2003 -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 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P9 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, provided Ext.P9 has been received by the 1st respondent and is not already disposed of.
