RAVIKUMAR, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P. (C) No. 25906 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 17th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners were appointed as Upper Primary School Assistants respectively, in SDPY, GVHSS, Palluruthy and SDPY, BHS, Palluruthy, belonging to the 4th respondent. The respondents 7 to 11 were appointed under the schools belonging to the 4th respondent as Lower Primary School Assistants. The grievance of the petitioner is that in anticipation of reduction of posts in the category of LPSA steps are already initiated to shift the petitioners to the category of LPSA to avoid a possible retrenchment of respondents 7 to 11. According to the petitioners such shifting of posts is impermissible in law. But, they are not allowed to mark their attendance as UPSA based on such proposal, it is submitted. In the said circumstances, they have preferred Exts.P9 and P10 before the 3rd respondent and they are pending before the 3rd respondent. 2. Considering the fact that the petitioner have already taken up their grievances before the 3rd respondent as per WPC.No.25906/2010 : 2 : Exts.P9 and P10 and that they are pending before the 3rd respondent, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P9 and P10 expeditiously, at any rate within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioners, 4th Respondent and to respondents 7 to 11.
