I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader representing respondents 1 to 4. 3. The petitioner has preferred Ext.P11 Revision Petition invoking the provisions of the KER. Ext.P11 being a statutory Revision Petition, it would be only appropriate that the 1st respondent considers the same and takes a decision thereon in accordance with law. 2025:KER:30245 WP(C) No.14515 of 2025 4 The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P11 Revision Petition and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of four months, after granting opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
