M.A.ASIF THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No.30940 of 2010 ---------------------------- Dated 8th October, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a proprietory concern. The workers attached to it have submitted Exts.P1 to P4 applications for the purpose of getting the registration as headload workers under Rule 26A(1) of the Headload Workers Rules. Thereafter, the petitioner was called upon to file objections, if any, or to attend meeting on 8.9.2010 to raise his objections. In response to the same the petitioner has submitted Ext.P6 that carried request for registration of the said four workers at the earliest. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the receipt of Ext.P6 no action has been taken by the respondent for the purpose of registering the said workers under Rule 26A. Evidently, the respondent has received applications from four workers engaged by the petitioner. Obvious, it was pursuant to the receipt of their applications that the respondent has issued Ext.P5 to the petitioner. The petitioner has readily responded to the same through Ext.P6. In the said circumstances, the respondent is bound to take a decision on the WP(C).No.30940/2010 2 applications submitted by the workers attached to the petitioner. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P1 to P4 applications after complying with the formalities required therefor expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
