KOSHY GEORGE -SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.24096 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of August, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner's registration, under the Kerala Headload Workers (Registration of Employment and Welfare) Scheme, has been cancelled by the 1st respondent by Ext.P1 order. The petitioner challenged the same before the 3rd respondent by filing Ext.P2 appeal. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the same is not being considered by the 3rd respondent in accordance with law. 2. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Board submits that the 3rd respondent has been superseded by the Government and the new committee has not been nominated, without which the appeal cannot be considered. He would submit that the appeal can be considered expeditiously, after the new committee takes charge. In the above circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent Committee to dispose of Ext.P2 appeal as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a W.P.(c)No.24096/08 2 period of two months from the date when the new committee takes charge. Needless to say, the petitioner shall be afforded an opportunity of being heard. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 3rd respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.24096/08 3
