ORDER
The writ petition has been instituted seeking for a direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 16.05.2025 and return all the original certificates which were produced by the petitioner to the respondents at the time of her joining in her Master of Surgery in OTORHINO-LARYNGOLOGY course in 2018 at Government Thanjavur Medical College, Thanjavur.
The case of the petitioner is that, she completed her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in May, 2017 and thereafter she
joined Post Graduate Master of Surgery in OTO-RHINO-LARYNGOLOGY (DLO). While joining the said course, she has given a bond to perform Government duty for a period of two years. Though she received posting order, due to marriage with the Defence person, she was not in a position to undertake the posting. Now that she has given a representation dated 16.05.2025, for issuance of posting order.
Learned Government Advocate would fairly submit that the said representation would be considered within a reasonable time. Heard the learned Counsel on either side and perused the materials available on record.
In view of the submission of the learned Government Advocate, without going into the merits of the matter, this Court deems it appropriate to direct the second respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 16.05.2025 and pass orders on it's own merits and in accordance with law within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the result, the Writ Petition stands disposed of with the above
direction. No costs.
