GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.20555 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner, who is the Manager of a private aided college affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University approached this Court mainly with the following prayer:- “a. Issue a writ or direction in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ direction or order compelling the 2nd respondent to forward Exhibits P2 and P3 representations to the first respondent to accord necessary sanction for appointing Librarian within a time frame to be fixed by this Honourable Court;” A scanning of the contentions in the Writ Petition would reveal that the grievance of the petitioner pertains to the inaction on the part of the second respondent in forwarding Exts.P2 and P3 representations to the first respondent for consideration. The learned Government Pleader submits that similar claims are pending consideration before the Government. In the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the second respondent is bound W.P.(C) NO.20555/2010 2 to forward Exts.P2 and P3 representations to enable the first respondent to consider the same while considering similar claims. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to forward Exts.P2 and P3 to the first respondent expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment if it has not already been forwarded. Needless to say that on receipt of Exts.P2 and P3, the first respondent shall consider and pass orders thereon along with similar claims raised by other similarly situated persons. (C.T.
