NO.29835 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of October, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the proprietrix of Kaniamparambil Oil Mill, Karamukku, Kanadassamkadavu P.O, Thrissur. Exts.P1 and P2 applications have been submitted by the permanent employees of the petitioner before the second respondent for registration under the Headload Workers Act. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the receipt of Exts.P1 and P2 applications, the second respondent has not so far completed the enquiry for registration and has not taken final decision thereon. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that after the enquiry, notices were served on the concerned parties including the Kerala State Headload Workers Welfare Board and final decision on Exts.P1 and P2 applications would be taken expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of 15 days. This is recorded. Accordingly, this Writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P1 and P2 applications for registration of the employees of the petitioner under the Headload Workers Act, in accordance with law, within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
