According to the petitioner, as the daughter of the said Sankunny Marar, the petitioner is entitled to appointment under the Compassionate Employment Scheme for such appointment. But overlooking the claim of the petitioner, the 4th respondent has been preferred for such appointment, which is the petitioner's sister. According to the petitioner, initially an order was passed in favour of the petitioner and later on the same was changed to give favourable orders to the 4th respondent. Petitioner therefore filed Ext.P8 revision before the 1st respondent under Section 99 of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act. Petitioner seeks W.P.(C)No. 29070 of 2010 -2- a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 expeditiously. I have heard the learned Government Pleader as well as the standing counsel appearing for the Malabar Devaswom Board. Having heard the parties appearing, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 revision as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and respondents 2 to 4. If the petitioner moves an application for stay that would also be considered and orders passed within two weeks. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/
