Dated this the 24th day of February, 2010
JUDGMENT
The petitioner is presently working as Work Superintendent in the
Corporation of Kollam. The main relief sought for by the petitioner is for
a direction to the second respondent to regularise his pay in terms of
Exts.P9 and P10 Government Orders in the light of Rule 159 of Part I of
the Kerala Service Rules and for consequential benefits. Earlier, finding
that there is substance in the contention of the petitioner, his pay was fixed
in terms of the request made by him by the Secretary, Punalur Municipality
as per Ext.P5. However, that was objected to by the Local Fund Audit
and the excess pay drawn by him was ordered to be recovered. In the
circumstances, raising the said contentions and even the ground of hostile
discrimination, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P11 representation before
the first respondent.
2. Evidently, the petitioner has taken up all the above contentions
including the contentions based on Exts.P9 and P10 Government Orders as
also his entitlement under Rule 159 of Part I of the Kerala Service Rules in
Ext. P11 dated 4.8.2008. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the
W.P.(C) NO. 6112/2010 2
receipt of Ext.P11, no action has been taken so far.
In the circumstances, considering the fact that Ext.P11
representation has been submitted by the petitioner as early as on 4.8.2008
and that the grievances raised by the petitioner are matters which can be
looked into by the first respondent, I think this Writ Petition can be
disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass
orders on Ext.P11 within a period of three months from the date of receipt
of a copy of this judgment. Ordered accordingly.
