                              JUDGMENT

Petitioners, the empanelled employees have

temporarily been relieved vide Ext.P2 dated

9.6.2017. However, the proposal mooted out by

the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation

(for short 'KSRTC') for rehabilitation of

disengaged employees who were on the rolls

during 2019-2020 for giving them a chance, did

not include the petitioners who were disengaged

in the year 2017. No action has been taken in

this regard on Ext.P5 representation submitted

by the petitioners.

2. Adv.Sri.Deepu Thankan, the learned

standing counsel appears for the respondents.

Without expressing any opinion on the

merits, I dispose of the writ petition by

issuing direction to respondent No.1 to take a

call on Ext.P5 representation, in accordance

with law, by affording adequate opportunity of W.P.(C)NO.18937 OF 2021

hearing to the petitioners, either through

virtual or through video conferencing mode and

decide the same within a period of 45 days from

the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.
