RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO.JUDGE sts ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 15004 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 26th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T First petitioner is an association of petty contractors of the respondent and the second petitioner is a member of the 1st petitioner. 2. In this writ petition, petitioners' grievance is mainly regarding Ext.P2 order issued by the respondent approving the uniform labour data given as per the annexure thereto. According to the petitioners, uniform labour data has been fixed in an unscientific and unworkable manner. 3. Therefore, they have made Exts.P4 and P5 representations to the Chief Engineer and the Chairman of the respondent Board respectively. These representations have not been considered and that led the petitioners to file this writ petition. 4. At this stage, having regard to the pendency of Ext.P5 before the Chairman of the respondent Board, the only order that is sought for is a direction for its consideration. Taking note of the limited nature of the relief that is sought WPC No. 15004/11 :2 : for and without expressing anything on the merits of the claim raised, I dispose of this writ petition itself directing the Chairman of the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible at any rate within 8 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment and with notice to the petitioners. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
