TO JUDGE NS K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.31496 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the Ist day of December 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner, who is working as a Rationing Inspector in the Taluk Supply Office, Nilambur, has filed this writ petition challenging the inclusion of his name in Ext.P8 provisional list of employees for deputation to the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation. According to the petitioner, he has already completed deputation for a period of five years and five months in the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation and has worked there from 23.2.2004 to 20.7.2009. Apart from the above, the petitioner would be completing 53 years of age in May 2012. As per Ext.P9, the norms for deputation of officers to the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation, persons who have completed 53 years of age are to be excluded. Since he would be completing 53 years on 26.5.2012, the petitioner contends that he is not liable to be deputed. Further, the petitioner, being an Asthma patient has WPC No.31496 of 2011 2 requested for a posting to his native place, Thrissur, which is also pending. 2. The second respondent has not finalised Ext.P9 provisional list. The petitioner apprehends that the list would be finalised, without considering and taking a decision on his representation Ext.P10, which is pending before the said authority. Therefore, the petitioner seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration and disposal of Ext.P10 before finalising Ext.P8. 3. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 4. Since Ext.P8 has not been finalised yet, it is only appropriate that the objections of the petitioner in Ext.P10 representation is also considered and a decision taken thereon. 5. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the objections and grievances of the petitioner set out in his representation, evidenced herein by Ext.P10 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate WPC No.31496 of 2011 3 before finalising the list of persons for being deputed to the Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation pursuant to Ext.P9.
