SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.18030 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 17TH DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners are Head Load workers having registration under Rule 26A of the Kerala Head Load Workers Rules. The petitioners have been working in Pool No.10 of the first respondent, Bank. Though there were originally more than 150 registered workers in Pool No.10, it is alleged that there are only less than 100 workers in the Pool at present, the rest being either retired, dead or abandoned work. There is a lot of demand for Head Load workers from the Employers/Business men of the area. However, it is alleged that the first respondent has not taken any steps to fill up the vacancies. Therefore, the petitioners seek appropriate directions for filling up the vacancies on an early date. 2. Adv.Koshy George, who appears for the 6th respondent Board submits that there are about 18 vacancies at present, which would be filled up without delay. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of Wpc 18030/2010 2 directing the first respondent to take necessary steps for filling up all the existing vacancies in Pool No.10 under it, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners shall produce a copy of the writ petition and a copy of this judgment before the first respondent for compliance. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE lgk
