ANU SIVARAMAN, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/12/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P.(C) No. 35500 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this the 9th day of December, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner is working as an Upper Division Clerk in the Kerala Panchayat Subordinate Service. By Ext.P2, post of Accountant was created in the department, which is to be filled up by inviting option. According to the petitioner, he opted for Kottayam district, being his home station. However, that has been ignored and he has been posted in Kasaragod district. This anomaly has been pointed out by the petitioner by Ext.P6 representation before the respondent. The petitioner submits that there are two vacancies of Accountant in Kottayam district and that Ext.P6 should be considered, so that, being the rightful claimant, he can be accommodated against one of the vacancies. 2. Having regard to the nature of the complaint, I feel that it is essentially for the respondent to deal with the claim. 3. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider Ext.P6 and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Subject to the petitioner producing a copy of this judgment W.P.(C) No. 35500/09 2 before the respondent within one week from today, it is directed that one of the post, which is stated to be available in the category of Accountant in Kottayam, shall not be filled up, until a decision on Ext.P6 has been taken. The petitioner shall produce copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. mn.
