SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.34333 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT The learned Standing Counsel for the Devaswom Board submits that in respect of appointment of petitioners 1 to 5, there was publication of advertisement inviting applications and an interview of the applicants also was conducted. As far as petitioners 6 and 7 are concerned, no records are available in respect of the same. But, still the learned Standing Counsel would contend that it is to be ascertained whether the petitioners' claim for regularisation can be allowed, in view of the Division Bench direction in that regard. He would submit that the Board can consider Exts.P3 to P9 representations filed by the petitioners before the second respondent in that regard in accordance with law. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P3 to P9 representations as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
