RENJITH THAMPAN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 28848 OF 2008 - H = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 29th day of September 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that in Ext. P1, following the earlier judgments in O.P. Nos. 18854/85 and 7759/86, this Court had directed that the re-fixation of seniority has to be effected in the manner as directed. It is stated that though the judgments apply to all branches of Engineering, relying on the fact that there has been a subsequent bifurcation of the posts in the Engineering disciplines, the University is now attempting to confine implementation of Exts. P1 and P2 judgments, only to Electrical Engineering branch alone. According to the petitioners, the same benefits should be extended to those in the Civil Engineering branch as well. It is claiming this benefit, that the petitioners have filed Ext. P3 series of representations before the 2nd respondent and it is complained that orders on Ext. P3 have not been passed so far. 2. Having heard the counsel for the petitioner and the W.P.(C) No. 28848 OF 2008 -2- Standing Counsel who entered appearance on behalf of the respondents, I feel, the grievance of the petitioners can be redressed by directing consideration of Ext. P3 series of representations. 3. The writ petition is therefore disposed of directing that the 2nd respondent shall take up, consider and pass orders on Ext. P3 series as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE jan/-
