NO. 33269 OF 2006 I --------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th December, 2006 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Exts.P2, P3 and P4. She also seeks a direction to consider her case for approval of her appointment as HSA (Malayalam) in the light of the legal provisions. In the alternative, she seeks a direction to first respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 and P6 Revision Petitions without denying an opportunity of being heard. Heard the learned Government Pleader also. I feel that the petitioner shall be granted the alternate relief prayed for and I need not go into the validity of Exts.P2, P3 and P4 in view of the fact that the petitioner has already invoked the alternate remedy by filing Ext. P6. Ext.P5 is filed by the fourth respondent Manager. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing first respondent to consider and take a decision on Exts.P5 and P6 in accordance with law, after hearing petitioner and fourth WP(C) NO.33269/06 I 2 respondent and any other affected party also, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment.
