Petitioner is working as a Village Extension Officer -II, Ponnani and in view of the delay in the declaration of his probation, he submitted Exhibit-P3 representation to the Block Development Officer, Ponnani. It is stated that pursuant to Exhibit-P3, the Block Development Officer, Ponnani had recommended his case for declaration of probation by Exhibit-P4 letter addressed to the 3rd respondent, the competent authority. Exhibit-P4 is followed by yet another recommendation, which is Exhibit-P5. Although Exhibits P4 and P5 are dated 1.3.2006 and 27.6.2006, the complaint of the petitioner is that even as at present his probation remains undeclared. It is in these circumstances that this writ petition was filed by him. 2. Taking note of the fact that the Block Development Officer has already recommended his case for declaring his probation is evidenced by Exhibits P4 and P5, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibits P4 and P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any W.P ( C) No. 23899 of 2007 2 rate, within a period of one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
