According to the petitioner, despite his entitlement for a posting at Thirumullavaram Temple, in the vacancy which arose on 01.12.09, ignoring his claim, the 4th respondent has been posted. Aggrieved by this, he has filed Ext.P7 request before the 2nd respondent and seeks a direction to the said respondent to consider the representation. 2. I heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondents and the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Having regard to the pendency of Ext.P7, without expressing anything on the merits of the contentions raised, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 with notice to 4th respondent and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
