RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 3626 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of March, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner's father died in harness while working as Part time Watchman in the Employment Exchange, Vatakara in Kozhikode District. After his death, the petitioner submitted an application for getting employment under the Dying in Harness Scheme. That was considered in his favour, as is obvious from Ext.P3. As per Ext.P3 order dated 31.3.2008, the first respondent accorded sanction for appointment of the petitioner in the National Employment Service Department. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite receipt of Ext.P3 order, respondents 2 and 3 are not taking steps for implementing the said order. 2. Considering the fact that Ext.P3 order has been passed by the first respondent according sanction for appointment of the petitioner as Peon/Menial in the National Employment Service Department, based on the application submitted by the petitioner for employment under the Dying in Harness Scheme, there is no reason for respondents 2 and 3 for W.P.(C) NO. 3626/2010 2 not taking appropriate steps for implementing Ext.P3. Therefore, there will be a direction to respondents 2 and 3 to take appropriate steps for implementing Ext.P3 order expeditiously. In case vacancies are available for appointing the petitioner in terms of Ext.P3, such steps shall be expedited and appropriate orders shall be passed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) sp/ W.P.(C) NO. 3626/2010 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. W.P.(C) NO.3626/2010 JUDGMENT 18th March, 2010 W.P.(C) NO. 3626/2010 4
