AGRL.UNIVERSITY) THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: A.K.BASHEER,J ================ W.P.(C).No.16720 of 2007 ================== Dated this the 19th day of June,2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner admittedly applied for the post of Matron in response to the notification issued by the Kerala Agricultural University. According to the petitioner, the selection process had been completed in March 2005. But the University is not taking any steps to make appointment. Petitioner has got a case that inaction on the part of the university is attributable to its interest in respondent No.4 who is now working as Matron on daily wage basis. The contention of the petitioner appears to be that the university is in an indirect way helping respondent No.4 to continue in the post of Matron. 2. But it is contended by the University that there is no willful latches on its part. Regular appointment pursuant to the notification is not being made since the Government has not granted sanction so far to make the appointment. It is also W.P.(C).No.16720/2007 :2: pointed out that the request made by the University in this regard in the year 2004 is pending consideration before the Government even now. In the above facts and circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of recording the above submissions made on behalf of the University. Additional respondent No.5 is directed to take an appropriate decision on the proposal/request made by the university to create the post of Matron and to fill it up. Appropriate decision in this regard shall be taken by the additional respondent No.5 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. On receipt of sanction from the Government, the University shall fill up the post within two months from the date of receipt of the order of sanction. A.K.BASHEER,JUDGE dvs
