Basheer, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P(C) No. 28757 of 2006-W - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 8th day of March, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioners claim that they have got the requisite qualification to be appointed as Junior Health Inspectors, Grade II. It is also contended by them that they have registered their names before the Employment Exchange concerned. The grievance of the petitioners is that the appointing authority is not prepared to accept the qualification obtained by the petitioners as equivalent to Multipurpose Workers' Training Certificate issued by the Kerala State Health Services Department. In fact the petitioners have obtained Sanitary Inspectors Training Certificate (Diploma) from All India Institute of Local Self Government, Mumbai. The grievance of the petitioners is that the Employment Exchange is refusing to sponsor their names inspite of the fact that the qualification obtained by them has been accepted as an alternate qualification in Ext.P11. 2. I do not propose to go into the various contentions raised by the petitioners at this stage, in view of the limited request made by the learned counsel at the Bar. It is submitted by him that petitioners will be satisfied if a direction is issued to respondents 2 to 4 to consider and pass orders on Exts.P12 to P16 representations. 3. It is seen that Exts.P12 and P13 are submitted by petitioners 1 and 2 before respondent No.2. The said respondent shall consider and pass orders on Exts.P12 and P13 in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date WP(C).28757/06 2 of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Similarly respondent No.3 shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P14 within the time stipulated above. Respondent No.4 shall consider and pass orders on Exts.P15 and P16, yet again within two months. Needless to mention that petitioners shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any orders are passed. Writ Petition is disposed of in the above terms. Petitioners shall produce a certified copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the respondents for compliance. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
