JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed with following prayers:
i. to issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, direction or order to quash Exts.P4, P5 and P6 orders issued by the DEO, Palakkad.
ii. to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondents to approve the appointment of the petitioners as UPSA with effect from the respective date of appointment. iii. to issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the 1st respondent to consider Exhibits P7 to P9 revision petition filed by the petitioner. iv. Petitioner also prays that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to dispense with the translation of the documents produced in the vernacular language. v. to grant such other and further reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may consider just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.
(SIC) WP(C).No.18882/2023
2. Aggrieved by the rejection of approval of
appointment as UPST, the petitioners submitted Exts.P7 to P9
before the 1st respondent. The grievance of the petitioners is
that the same is not considered.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and
the learned Government Pleader.
4. After hearing both sides, I think this writ petition
itself can be disposed of directing the 1st respondent to
consider Exts.P7 to P9 within a time frame. The counsel for
the petitioners submitted that there may be a direction to
consider the dictum laid down by the Division Bench of this
Court in Writ Appeal No.1602/2022 and connected cases.
Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of in the
following manner:
1. The 1st respondent is directed to consider and
pass appropriate orders in Exts.P7 to P9, after
affording an opportunity of hearing to the
petitioners, as expeditiously as possible, at any
rate, within within four months from the date of
receipt of a stamped certified copy of this
judgment.
WP(C).No.18882/2023
2. While deciding the matter, the 1st respondent
will also consider the applicability of the dictum
laid down by this Court in Writ Appeal
No.1602/2022 and connected cases.
3. The petitioners will produce a stamped certified
copy of this judgment along with a copy of this
writ petition before the 1st respondent for
compliance.
