SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO:32816 OF 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th December, 2011. JUDGMENT The petitioners are working as Anganwadi workers, according to them for the past more than 20 years. They are presently under the ICDS project officers at Perambra and Naduvannur. According to the petitioners, they are entitled to promotion as Supervisors (ICDS). It is the case of the petitioners that as per Exts.P2 and P3 they are entitled to be promoted as ICDS Supervisors on contract basis. Though they have submitted Exts.P4 to P9 representations seeking such promotions as ICDS Supervisors on contract basis, they complain that no orders have been passed on their representations, till date. The petitioners therefore seek the issue of appropriate orders directing the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P4 to P9. 2. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. In view of the fact that Exts.P4 to P9 are pending consideration of the first respondent, I am of opinion that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the said authority to consider and pass orders on the representations of the petitioners. WPC32816/2011 2 3. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the claims of the petitioners set out in their representations evidenced herein by Exts.P4 to P9 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
