VARGEHSE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/11/2008, THE COURT ON 06/11/2008 DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.32715/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Exts.P1 to P47 are the orders appointing the petitioners as HSSTs in the Government Higher Secondary Schools. Petitioners submit that prior to their appointment as HSSTs, they had service in aided schools and relying on Exts.P48 and P49 Govt. orders, it is contended that, for conferring higher grade, prior service in the aided school is liable to be reckoned. With that request they have moved the first respondent by filing Ext.P50 representation and in this writ petition the main complaint is that there is delay in considering and passing orders on Ext.P50. Petitioner therefore seek a direction to the first respondent to dispose of Ext.P50 on an expeditious basis. 2 Having regard to the limited nature of the relief that is sought for, I direct that the first respondent shall dispose of Ext.P50, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 3 weeks from the date of production of a coy of the judgment. It is directed that one of the petitioners be heard before final orders are passed. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. 3
