J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an owner of the shop which proposes to engage headload workers to enable them to do head load work in the said establishment as per the provisions of the Kerala Headload workers Act, Rules and Scheme. They are bound to obtain a registration as an employer under paragraph 7 of the Kerala Headload Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Scheme, 1983 for the purpose of getting head load work done in their establishment. For this purpose the petitioner has filed Ext.P1 application. Petitioner's grievance is that the same is not been considered by the 2nd respondent. The contention of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent has even refused to accept the application. 2. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent also.

After hearing both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following direction: If the petitioner resubmits Ext.P1 application, the 2nd respondent shall accept the same and pass appropriate order on the same, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of the application.
