SIRI JAGAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.35800 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be the second senior most Principal in the State. The grievance of the petitioner is that while issuing places of posting, juniors to the petitioners have been given places of their choice and the petitioner has been denied that benefit. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation before the second respondent. For the present, the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It W.P.(C)No.35800/10 2 would be open to the petitioner to rely on Ext.P6 or any other document in support of the contention of the petitioner, the applicability of which shall also be considered by the second respondent appropriately.
