ANTONY MUKKATH - R1 AND R2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 5619 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is an Assistant Public Prosecutor Grade I, presently working in the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Neyyattinkara. He is aggrieved by the anomalies that have crept in, in the seniority list of Assistant Public Prosecutors as on 31.12.2004. According to the petitioner, he had submitted Ext.P2 representation before the first respondent for review of Ext.P1 seniority list as early as on 28.3.2005. Subsequently, he had submitted Exts.P3 and P4 reminders dated 28.10.2006 and 1.1.2010 respectively. As no action was taken on his application, the petitioner again submitted a representation, Ext.P5, before the first respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the repeated representations and reminders submitted by him, no action whatsoever has been taken by the first respondent for looking into the alleged anomalies that have crept in, in the seniority list and to correct the same. W.P.(C) NO. 5619/2010 2 2. In a similar situation, this Court, as per Ext.P6 judgment dated 2.2.2010 in W.P.(C) No. 3350 of 2010, had directed the first respondent therein to consider and pass orders on the representation submitted by the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. Considering the fact that the grievance of the petitioner herein and that of the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.3350 of 2010 are one and the same, it will be proper if the grievance of the petitioner is also taken up while considering the grievance of the petitioner in W.P.(C) No. 3350 of 2010. Therefore, there will be a direction to the first respondent to consider Exts.P2 to P5 representations submitted by the petitioner pointing out the anomalies that have crept in, in Ext.P1 seniority list, in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner and respondents 3 to 7. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) sp/ W.P.(C) NO. 5619/2010 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. W.P.(C) NO. 5619/2010 JUDGMENT 22nd February, 2010 W.P.(C) NO. 5619/2010 4
