TO JUDGE C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.12023 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of August, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioners are Lectures/Professors of Nursing College under the Medical Education Department. Raising grievances against Ext.P1 GO(P) No.425/21009/H&FWD dated 14.12.2009, the petitioners have already approached the 2nd respondent through Ext.P8 representation. Their grievance is that Government have issued Ext.P1, G.O, without properly adverting to Exts.P2, P5 to P7. The petitioner have raised all such contentions in Ext.P8. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner brought to my notice that in similar circumstances certain Assistant Professors in the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, under the Medical Education Department approached this Court by W.P.(C) No.18570/2010, and it was disposed of with direction to the Government to consider the contentions raised in their representations and pass appropriate orders. The petitioners contend that their claims and contentions W.P.(C).No.12023 OF 2010 2 are exactly similar to those of the petitioners in W.P.(C) No.18570 of 2010. 2. I have also heard the learned Government Pleader. 3. Evidently this Court has already passed a direction in W.P.(C) No.18570 of 2010 to the Government to look into the grievances raised by the Assistant Professors in the College of Pharmaceutical Sciences under the 1st respondent and admittedly, their grievance was also against Ext.P1 viz., GO(P)No.425/21009/H&FWD dated 14/12/2009. Obviously, the petitioners herein are also aggrieved by the very same G.O dated 14.12.2009. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the claims of the petitioners raised in Ext.P8 and pass orders thereon. It will only be appropriate for the 2nd respondent to take up Ext.P8 while considering the claims of the petitioners in W.P.(C).No.18570 of 2010 . This Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
