J U D G M E N T The petitioner was working as a Cleaning Staff in the Primary Health Centre, Panamaram. She was appointed through the Employment Exchange as a Clearing Staff in 2008. Even according to the petitioner, she was initially appointed for a period of 179 days from 4.9.2008 to 2.3.2009. Subsequently she had been appointed for a second time from 10.3.2009 to 4.9.2009. It is the case of the petitioner that she was discharged from service on the expiry of 179 days. She was so terminated from the service on 14.9.2009. According to the petitioner, though Ext.P6 representation has been submitted to the third respondent, no orders have been passed thereon till date. 2. Heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. The petitioner was admittedly terminated from service on 14.9.2009. Ext.P6 representation is dated WP(C).No.24614/2011-B. 2 1.7.2011. Shortly thereafter, this writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the third respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P6. It is also worthwhile to notice that in the communication Ext.P5 dated 2.8.2010, the petitioner had been informed that her representation could not be considered for the reason that she had been appointed through Employment Exchange. However, the petitioner did not choose to challenge Ext.P5. The petitioner has approached this Court by filing this writ petition agitating the very same contentions, after submitting Ext.P6. I do not think there is any point in directing a fresh consideration of the very same contentions as sought for in this writ petition. Especially so, considering the inordinate delay that has occurred in challenging the termination order which is dated 14.9.2009. This writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.
