RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS: NIL // TRUE COPY// P.A.TO JUDGE NK K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.34087 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of December 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as an Assistant Director of Agriculture, presently posted at Kakkoor, Thiruvananthapuram. The petitioner had availed leave during 2007 and 2008 for a period of two years. However, the leave was not sanctioned. Thereafter, he joined back on 2.3.2009 as per Ext.P5. He was subsequently posted as an Assistant Director of Agriculture at Kattakkada. He has been serving at the station ever since. According to the petitioner, he is due to retire on 31.3.2012. Since his leave period has not been regularised, he apprehends that there will be delay in processing his pension papers and sanctioning the pension that is actually due to him. For the above reason, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P6 representation dated 5.6.2009 which is still pending before the second respondent. The petitioner, therefore, seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the WPC No.34087/2011 2 consideration and disposal of Ext.P6. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. Since Ext.P6 is pending consideration of the second respondent, I do not deem it necessary to consider the contentions of the petitioner on the merits. It is sufficient that the said representation is directed to be considered and disposed of expeditiously. 4. This writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P6 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
