On account of an accident and consequent disabilities suffered by the petitioner, the petitioner is not in a position to perform the duties of a Santhi, since he cannot squat for long periods, which is essential for performing poojas as a Santhi. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P5 representation for a category change as a peon. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. Having heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the Travancore Devaswom Board also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
