J U D G M E N T

The petitioner, presently working as Assistant Finance Officer, has approached this court aggrieved by the action of the Kerala State Electricity Board in not counting the period of Leave-Without-Allowance on medical grounds, for the purpose of promotion.

Pending this Writ Petition, the petitioner also produced Ext.P7 circular issued by the Government. The petitioner submits that the Board adopted the same by Ext.P8. Therefore, it is submitted that in the light of the adoption by the Board, she is eligible for the Leave-WithoutAllowance period on medical grounds, to be counted for the purpose of promotion.

W.P.(C) No. 26215/2013 -23.

In view of the above circumstance, appropriate decision shall be taken by the 3rd respondent after adverting to Exts.P7 and P8, and the representation made by the petitioner by Ext.P6, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of the copy of this judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly.
