                               JUDGMENT

Raman, Ag. C. J.

In a similar Writ Petition, WPC No. 25304 OF 2006, identical

orders were quashed by the learned single Judge, which we have

upheld in W.A. No. 1308 of 2008. For parity of reasons stated in the

judgment in the Writ Appeal, we quash Exts. P6 to P8 orders, allow the

Writ Petition and declare that the higher grade granted to the petitioner

is perfectly legal and valid, and the proposed reversal of the same by

the impugned orders is clearly illegal.

(P.R. RAMAN)
Ag. Chief Justice

(C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR)
Judge.
