RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 18282 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of September, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Senior Co-operative Inspector/Secretary under the Co-operative Department. He was a direct recruitee to the post of Junior Co-operative Inspector. The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P6 seniority list of Junior Inspectors/ Auditors dated 9.1.2007 for the period from 1.9.1996 to 3.10.2010 and Ext.P6(a) provisional seniority list dated 24.3.2009 for the period from 1.11.2000 to 31.3.2004. Earlier, he has submitted Ext.P7 representation dated 2.8.2009 before the second respondent for redressal of the grievances against the said seniority lists. As per Ext.P8 dated 8.12.2010, the petitioner was informed that the contention raised by him alleging anomaly in the seniority requires better particulars and therefore, it would be open to the petitioner to file a representation pointing out the specific anomaly. Later, the petitioner has filed a detailed representation viz., Ext.P10 dated 10.5.2011 before the first respondent. It aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents in considering Ext.P10 that this Writ Petition has W.P.(C) NO.18282 of 2011 2 been filed. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Evidently, the grievance of the petitioner is against Ext.P6 and P6(a) seniority lists published respectively on 9.1.2007 and 24.3.2009. Ext.P8 would reveal that after consideration of the representation filed by the petitioner raising grievances against the same, he was asked to file a proper representation pointing out the anomaly in the matter of assignment of seniority. It is thereafter that the petitioner has submitted Ext.P10. In the said circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner regarding his claim of reassignment of seniority in this Writ Petition as also in Ext.P10, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P10, in accordance with law, after putting the persons likely to be affected, on notice. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.18282 of 2011 3 C.T.
