Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate appearing for respondents 1 to 5. 3. The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the fourth respondent to consider his representation dated 18.06.2011 and pass appropriate orders on merits, within a time stipulated by this Court. 4. The case of the petitioner is that on 08.08.1979 he was appointed as a Part-time Vocational Instructor at A.S.A. Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Thiruchendur, through Employment Exchange. From 05.11.1984 onwards, he was made as a Double Part-time Vocational Instructor. On 01.04.1990, he was absorbed in the post of Vocational Instructor in the sixth respondent school and he was given the time scale of pay. Since the vocational course was wound up at the sixth respondent school, where the petitioner was working, he was not allotted the time table at the re-opening of the school. The sixth respondent, by his proceeding dated 17.06.2011, informed him that the fifth respondent has orally informed him over phone that until the order of redeployment is issued, he should not be accommodated in the same school. Hence, the petitioner sent a representation dated 18.06.2011 through proper channel to the fourth respondent with a request to place him at the neighbouring school, in case of any deployment to any other school and the same has not been considered so far and hence, the petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the fourth respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner, as put forth by him in his representation dated 18.06.2011, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition stands ordered accordingly. No costs.
