Judgment :- (Prayer: Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, praying for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents to permit the petitioner to take part in the examinations for the post of Computer Instructors to be held during the third week of January 2007, based on the petitioner's representations dated 07.12.2006 and 18.12.2006.) Mr.K.Bhaskaran, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice on behalf of the respondents. 2.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and also the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. By consent of both counsel, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal. 3. The nitty gritty, gist and kernel, pith and marrow of the case of the Petitioner is that his representations dated 07.12.2006 and 18.12.2006 so as to permit him to appear in the examination scheduled to be conducted by the respondents for the post of Computer Instructors to be held during third week of January' 2007, were not considered. 4. The time lag between 07.12.2006 and the date of filing of the writ petition was not enormous and in such a case, the Court cannot raise its accusative finger as against the Respondent authorities. However, the avowed object and the intention of the Petitioner is to make the authorities to consider his representations; inasmuch as the prayer of the Petitioner itself is to direct the respondents to consider the representations and nothing more. 5. Hence, in the facts and circumstances of the case, it is just and necessary to order the respondents to consider the petitioner's representations and communicate the authorities' decision thereon. I make it clear that by issuing such directions, I do not in any way indicate that the petitioner's representations should be accepted. Uninfluenced and untrammeled by any observations made in the order, the respondents are at liberty either to accept or reject the petitioner's representations as the case may be as per law. 6. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
