TO JUDGE S K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.30513 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of November 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Junior Health Inspector Grade II in Palakkad District. His academic qualifications entitle him to be considered for appointment to the post of Tutor in Clinical Psychology. However, the mode of appointment to the said post as per Ext.P3 is only by direct recruitment. The present mode of appointment, according to the petitioner, denies him a chance to participate in the process of selection for appointment to the post of Tutor. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted representations requesting the first respondent to modify the rules so as to permit the departmental candidates also to compete in the selection process. Ext.P7 is the last of such representations. The petitioner complains that no action has been taken on his representations, till date. Therefore, he seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration and disposal WPC No.30513 of 2011 2 of Ext.P7. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In view of the limited relief that is claimed by the petitioner, I do not think it necessary to issue notice in this writ petition. The same can be disposed of directing the consideration of Ext.P7. 4. This writ petition is, in the above circumstances, disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation submitted by the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P7, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. sd/- K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE true copy P.S.TO JUDGE css/
