THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: svs C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 1419 OF 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 11th day of April, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner on being sponsored by the District Employment Exchange was appointed as a conductor under the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation on temporary basis. On such appointment he was assigned badge No.PTA/33/98. Later, he was issued with Ext.P1 duty pass. On 5.4.2006 he sustained an accident and he lost one of his fingers and sustained severe injuries to his body including fracture of his shoulder. Later, taking into account the fact that his absence was on account of genuine reason the petitioner was allowed to rejoin duty with effect from 22.3.2009. The contention of the petitioner is that subsequently on account of the fracture on shoulder and elbow he had to undergo further expert treatment. According to him, he has, now, recuperated. Though he approached the 4th respondent for permitting him to rejoin duty on 2.6.2010 he was not permitted to re-join duty, it is contended. Thereafter, he preferred Ext.P3 representation before the first respondent that carries a prayer to permit him to re-join duty WPC.No.1419/2011 : 2 : under the 3rd respondent. This writ petition has been filed on being aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the first respondent in considering Ext.P3 representation. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel for the respondents. Admittedly, the first respondent has received Ext.P3 representation dated 2.6.2010 and it is still pending consideration. In the said circumstances, it is absolutely unnecessary to consider the contention raised in this writ petition on merit at this stage. Therefore, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised in this writ petition and also in Ext.P3 representation this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P3 representation, expeditiously and pass orders in accordance with law. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. It is made clear that this Court has not made any observation as to the merits of the contentions of the petitioner. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
