Petitioners 1 to 6 are Field Workers, 7 to 10 are
Peons and 11th petitioner is Electrician in the Health
Services Department. As per the special rules relating to
appointment to the post of Junior Health Inspector
Grade II, petitioners are also eligible to be considered
for promotion. They contend that ignoring the fact that
they are qualified persons, Government is proposing to
embark upon direct recruitment. Apparently, on an
earlier occasion, this Court had by Ext.P3 judgment
directed the Government to consider the claim of
similarly situated persons and further held that direct
recruitment may be subject to such claims.
2. Petitioners contend that juniors to the
petitioners have been promoted as Junior Health
Inspectors Grade II pursuant to the directions issued by
this Court. Petitioners have filed Exts.P4 to P14 before
the Director of Health Services.

3. Having heard the learned Government Pleader
also, the writ petition is disposed of directing the third
respondent to look into Exts.P4 to P14 and take a
decision thereon, in the light of Ext.P3 judgment, within
a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy
of this judgment.
