As per Ext.P2, such provisional appointments have to be only for 89 days and on completion of 89 days such engagements should be discontinued and fresh hands should be engaged from the same list, contends the petitioner. The petitioner's grievance now is that, despite the above legal position, the provisional Drivers already appointed from the list is being continued without offering chance to the other persons in the list for being engaged as provisional Drivers. Detailing this grievance, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation before the 4th respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 4th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 as expeditiously as possible. W.P.(C)No.32242 of 2010 2 2. I have heard the standing counsel appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 also. In the nature of the order I propose to pass I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 4th respondent at this juncture. 3. Having heard the counsel for the petitioner and the standing counsel for respondents 1 to 3, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 4th respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 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 all concerned. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 4th respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/
