TO JUDGE VPV K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = WP(C).No.33859 of 2011. = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 19th December, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a person who has been appointed provisionally through the Employment Exchange as Agricultural Assistant in the Agricultural Department. According to him, no rank list of the Kerala Public Service Commission ('PSC' for short) is in force. He was appointed after a selection process. The period of his appointment is about to expire. He has also applied for selection and appointment to the PSC. In all likelihood, he would get selection and appointment through the PSC also. However, in the meantime he apprehends that he would be terminated from service. He has therefore submitted Ext.P4 representation to the first respondent. He seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P4. 2. I have heard the learned Govt.Pleader also. 3. It is well settled that the petitioner has no right to WP(C).No.33859/2011. 2 claim that he should be continued in service beyond the term of his appointment. However, since he has set out all his contentions in Ext.P4 representation, which is pending consideration of the first respondent, I do not think that it necessary to go into the merits of his contentions at this stage. It is sufficient that the first respondent is directed to consider the claim of the petitioner and to take a decision on Ext.P4. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner set out in Ext.P4 representation, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner also.
