THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.6941 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of March, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Lower Division Clerk in the Health Services Department. After abolition of the dual control system of employees of Health Department working in the Medical Education Department, he opted to continue in the Medical Education Department. In the meanwhile, the petitioner was promoted as U.D. Clerk. But, by Ext.P6 order dated 4.11.2009, he was informed that he could not be posted as U.D. Clerk for want of sufficient vacancies in the promoted post in the Medical Education Department. The petitioner now submits that 14 posts of U.D. Clerks have been transferred to the Medical Education Department and instead of accommodating the petitioner in one of those posts, the respondents are contemplating promoting others in the Department of Medical Eduction to those posts. The petitioner submits that the petitioner is entitled to be accommodated in one of those vacancies. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Exts.P9 and P12 representations before the W.P.(C)No.6941/11 2 first respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P9 and P12 representations expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P9 and P12 representations, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
