Dated, this the 18th day of June, 2010
J U D G M E N T
The petitioners are holding the posts of Dieticians and
Nutritionists. Their grievance is that though they are in the
administrative control of the State Nutrition Officer, they are not
included in the feeder category to the said post. Pointing out this
and also seeking appropriate modification in the Special Rules, they
have filed Ext.P3 before the 1st respondent and seek a direction for
its consideration.
2. Although fixation of method of recruitment and
qualifications is basically the prerogative of the 1st respondent,
when an affected party makes a representation alleging existence of
anomalies in the Special Rules, it is necessary that the same should
be duly adverted to.
Having regard to the fact that in Ext.P3, all what is urged is
rectification of the alleged anomalies, I direct the 1st respondent to
consider Ext.P3 and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as
WP(C) No.18964/2010
-2-
expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months of
production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ
petition.
This writ petition is disposed of as above.
(ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE)
