                    ---------------------------------------
                      W.P.(C) No. 13805 of 2023
                     --------------------------------------
                 Dated this the 13th day of April, 2023


                                JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with following prayers :

(i) "issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ, order or direction commanding the 4th respondent to approve the appointment of the Petitioners and grant the attendant benefits forthwith;

(ii) dispense with production of English translation of vernacular documents;

(iii) call for the records relating to Exhibit P3 and set aside the original of the same by the issue of the writ of certiorari or other appropriate writ or order;

iv) pass such other order or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper to grant in the circumstances of the case. " [SIC]

2. When this writ petition came up for consideration, the

learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the

petitioner will be satisfied if a direction is issued to the 2 nd

respondent to consider and pass orders in Ext.P4 within a time

frame.

3. Heard the learned Government Pleader also.

4. After hearing both sides, I think this writ petition

itself can be disposed of directing the 2 nd respondent to

consider and pass orders in Ext.P4 within a time frame.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with the

following directions :

1) The 2nd respondent is directed to consider and pass

appropriate orders in Ext.P4 with notice to the petitioner and the

respondent Nos.5 and 6, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,

within three months from the date of receipt of a stamped

certified copy of this judgment.

2) The petitioner will produce a stamped certified copy of

this judgment along with copy of this writ petition before the 2nd

respondent for compliance.
