PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.28969 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 15th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are working as mazdoor watchers at the Thattekkad Bird Sanctuary. They were being engaged from 1999 onwards, whenever there was work available. Their main duty was to prevent wild fire. When their services were sought to be terminated, they filed writ petitions and obtained Exts.P2 to P4 judgments, in which, this Court directed that they be given work in accordance with their seniority as and when work is available. The petitioners now complain that they are being denied work and, at the same time, new persons are being engaged in their place. Therefore, they have filed Ext.P5 representation before the 1st respondent. They seek a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that no persons are being engaged as alleged by the petitioners. I am not going into that question now. Insofar as Ext.P5 is pending, it is only appropriate that the 1st respondent considers and passes orders on the same expeditiously. 3. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date w.p.c.28969/10 2 of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
