SHRI.A.J.VARGHESE, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 36407 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of December, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner submits that he submitted an application to the 4th respondent for availing of Leave Without Allowance, which requires NOC. It is stated that application is still kept pending with the 4th respondent without further processing. In view of the inaction on the part of the 4th respondent, the petitioner submits that he approached the 5th respondent, which also did not result in any positive response. Therefore, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 complaint before the 1st respondent. In this writ petition what the petitioner seeks is a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P3 and pass orders thereon. 2. If as stated by the petitioner neither the Manager nor the Principal has processed the application made by the petitioner for Leave Without Allowance, it is only proper that the 1st respondent considers Ext.P3 and passes orders, to redress the grievances of the petitioner. Therefore, I direct the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P3 W.P.(C) No.36407/2008 -2- and pass orders thereon, if the same has been received and is pending as expeditiously as possible. The petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 1st respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
