C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No.18351 of 2011 ---------------------------- Dated 7th July, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Lab Technician Grade II under the second respondent. The contention of the petitioner is that respondents 3 and 4 have been wrongly assigned seniority over the petitioner as per Exts.P7 and P7(a). Alleging that assignment of seniority to respondents 3 and 4 over the petitioner is illegal the petitioner has preferred Ext.P8 appeal challenging Exts.P7 and P7(a). Ext.P8 appeal is pending before the first respondent. In view of the order I propose to pass in this writ petition, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to respondents 3 and 4. Considering the fact that raising grievances against assignment of seniority to respondents 3 and 4, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P8 appeal and it is still pending before the first respondent, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8 appeal with notice to the petitioner and also to respondents 3 and 4 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
