Petitioner has been appointed as an enumerator in the enumeration block No.55 of Ward No.16 of Tanaloor Village, for undertaking the work of data collection for creation of National Population Register. Petitioner contends that for other enumerators, the area allotted is consisting of a population of 600 and 120 families which is the quota prescribed for an enumerator as per the manual prepared for the National Population Register. But the petitioner has been given the task of collecting data from a population of 1100 comprised of 210 families. Petitioner's request for additional time was not heeded to by the officers concerned. Petitioner had already completed the task by taking more time. Petitioner now seeks additional W.P.(C)No. 15820 of 2010 -2- remuneration for the extra work allegedly done by the petitioner. Seeking this relief the petitioner has filed Ext.P7 petition before the 3rd respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 as expeditiously as possible. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
