treated as Diploma in Chikitsa Prayogshala Taknik and the said status has further been clarified by the State Government vide Memo No. 631 dated 09.12.2004. Learned counsel submitted that as per the clarification made by Memo No. 562 dated 29.06.2016 and Memo No. 631 dated 09.12.2004, the petitioner is holding the certificate of Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technician, hence he is entitled to be appointed on the post of Medical Laboratory Technician having all the requisite qualification and the rejection of the case of the petitioner without giving him any opportunity is not in accordance with law. Learned counsel has further relied on the order passed by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court in C.W.J.C.

Considering the aforesaid submission made on behalf of the petitioner, as well as, the representation in respect of the claim of the petitioner as prayed for in the present writ petition is already pending before respondent nos.4 and 5, I find that the respondent nos. 4 and 5 must immediately take steps to pass a reasoned order expeditiously in light of the Memo No. 562 dated 29.06.2016 (Annexure-1) and clarification contained in Memo No. 631 dated 09.12.2004.
