Dated this the 13th day of March, 2007
JUDGMENT
The petitioner is working as Junior Health Inspector
Grade-II in the Health Services Department. The writ petition
shows that he possesses the qualifications of B.Com., MSW,
Health Inspectors Diploma awarded by the All India Institute of
Local Self Government, Bombay, M.Sc.(Psychology) and M.Phil in
Psychology. He passed the State Eligibility Test conducted by the
Government of Kerala.
2. The Kerala State Institute of Health and Family Welfare
and Collaborating Training Institute lacks the required number of
faculty members since the leaving of two members who were
earlier engaged in that Institute. The necessity to engage
faculty members has been felt by the Principal of the Institute
who has already addressed the Director of Health Services. In
Ext.P4 communication dated 23.9.2006, the Principal has
W.P.(C)No.8308/2007 :2:
recommended the name of the petitioner to be engaged as a
member of the faculty considering his qualifications, teaching
experience etc. The petitioner has also filed a representation
evidenced by Ext.P3 addressed to the Secretary, Health and
Family Welfare Department through a proper channel.
3. No decision has been taken on Ext.P4. Details relating to
the service particulars of the petitioner are known to the first
respondent since Ext.P3 was routed through proper channel. The
reliefs prayed for in this writ petition include a direction to the
first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 forthwith.
4. I have heard the Government Pleader for the first
respondent. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, notice
need not be issued, at this stage, to the second respondent.
5. Having regard to the fact that there is no faculty
members and having felt the need for faculty members as seen
from the recommendation made by the Principal of the Institute,
it is only appropriate that the first respondent takes up for
consideration Ext.P4 and passes orders in accordance with law
as early as possible. A time limit of three weeks from the date of
W.P.(C)No.8308/2007 :3:
receipt of a copy of the judgment is fixed for passing orders on
Ext.P4. I make it clear that I have not expressed any opinion
about the merits of the contentions of the petitioner. The
petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment and a copy of the
writ petition for information and compliance.
