THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 11629 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 11th day of April, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner was originally appointed as a High School Assistant in the Government High School, Beypore. While working so, the petitioner was appointed through Public Service Commission as a Casher in the Kerala State Electricity Board by order dated 5.12.1994, Ext. P1 herein. As per the appointment order, the petitioner was to join duty before 19.12.1994. She got relieved from the Government High School, Beypore on 16.12.1994 and is stated to have joined duty on 17.12.1994 before the 2nd respondent. But, in the service book of the petitioner, the date of joining of the petitioner is shown as 3.1.1995. The petitioner seeks correction of the same. The petitioner filed Ext. P3 petition seeking the said correction. That was on 18.11.2000. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 4th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P3 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel for the Kerala State Electricity Board also. 3. Apart from producing Ext. P2 relieving order from the Government High School, Beypore stating that the petitioner was relieved from duty on 16.12.1994, no evidence whatsoever has been produced by the petitioner to show that the petitioner actually joined duty on 17.12.1994. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no documentary evidence as such to prove the same. But, according to counsel, after joining duty on 17.12.1994, the petitioner was deputed for training and 3.1.1995 is the date on which the petitioner rejoined duty, which was failed to be taken note of. I am of opinion that if the petitioner has actually been deputed for training, there would be records with the respondents to verify the W.P(C) No. 11629 of 2011 -: 2 :- same. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 4th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P3 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- S.
