PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 9938 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 29th day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an Upper Division Clerk working in the Health Services Department of Government of Kerala. When the Government decided to abolish the dual control system of employees of the Health Services Department working in the Medical Education Department, the petitioner opted to go over to the Medical Education Department. But, overlooking the claim of the petitioner, who is senior to the 3rd respondent, the 3rd respondent was absorbed ahead of the petitioner. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P2 representation before the 2nd respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the 3rd respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
