The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the 1st respondent to implement Ext.P2 and enroll the petitioners as casual labourers under the 1st respondent University. It is averred in the writ petition that about 150 trainees selected from three panchayat areas were given six months long training. By Ext.P2 Minutes of the Sub Committee held on 5.5.2006, it is seen that a decision was taken in respect of all the 60 ABARD Trainees to be enrolled as Casual labourers in a phased manner at Mannuthy Campus and Pooled at University Livestock Farm and Fodder Research Development Scheme Mannuthy. Seeking implementation of the same, petitioners have filed a representation as Ext.P3 and later they have filed another representation as Ext.P4 also. W.P ( C) No.33170 of 2009 2 2. Since the matter is pending before the 1st respondent, it is up to the 1st respondent to take a decision therein, in accordance with the Scheme, as clear from Ext.P2. 3. Learned standing counsel for the University submitted that a decision will be taken within a period of four months. Therefore there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take a decision on Exts.P3 and P4 within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE ma W.P ( C) No.33170 of 2009 3 W.P ( C) No.33170 of 2009 4
