JUDGMENT
The petitioner is a Registered Welfare Association by name Higher Secondary Junior Teachers Federation, which claim that there are about 7500 junior teachers in the Higher Secondary Department, when compared with the senior teachers and their rights have been curtailed from time to time. A detailed representation was submitted by them pointing out certain anomalies faced by the high school junior teachers. The petitioner has approached this court lamenting that the above representation has not been disposed of.
2. Having considered this, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with a direction that the first respondent shall take up, consider and dispose of Ext.P1 representation, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after giving a reasonable opportunity of being heard to two representatives of the Association, either WP(C) NO. 23856 OF 2021 3 physically or online.
Writ Petition is disposed of.
