BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.A.J.VARGHES THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN,J ===================== W.P.(C).No.35253 of 2007 =========================== Dated this the 29th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT Regarding the petitioner's claim for promotion as Headmaster, the petitioner filed Ext.P6 representation before the first respondent. Petitioner seeks expeditious disposal of the same. 2. The learned Government Pleader points out that Ext.P6 is addressed to the Ministry of Education not to the Secretary to the Government. I do not think that such technicality should stand in the way of disposal of Ext.P6 by the first respondent. In the above circumstances, I disposed of the writ petition with the following directions. The first respondent should treat Ext.P6 as a representation filed before the Government. The first respondent shall consider and pass appropriate orders thereon within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the respondents 5 and 6. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE dvs
