                         W.P.(C)NO.6087  of 2007

                         -----------------------------------------



                Dated this the 13th  day  of  March,  2007



                                    JUDGMENT

The petitioner retired on 31.12.2003 while working as Sub

Engineer in the Kerala State Electricity Board. Disciplinary

proceedings pending against him have been finalised as per

Ext.P13 proceedings of the Chairman of the Board passed on

24.1.2007. Last paragraph of Ext.P13 says that a lenient view is

taken in the case of the petitioner and it has been decided to

drop the punishment imposed by the Chief Engineer (HRM). The

grievance of the petitioner is that the benefits consequent on

Ext.P13 have not been granted to him by the subordinate

authorities. He has filed Ext.P14 representation before the

Secretary of the respondent Board requesting to grant him the

following reliefs:

i) issue a writ of certiorari or any writ or

order to quash the finding of the first respondent

to the extent that there is no merit in the

appeal;

W.P.(C)No.6087/2007 :2:

ii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ

or direction or order directing the respondents to

grant the financial benefit on account of dropping

the punishment;

iii) direct the respondents to promote the

petitioner as Asst.Engineer from the date of

promotion of his junior and grant all consequent

pecuniary benefits arising therefrom;

iv) direct the respondents to revise pension

and other pensionary benefits immediately on

account of 1 and 2 above;

2. I have heard the Laision Officer for the respondent Board.

3. It is only appropriate that the Secretary of the

respondent Board takes up for consideration Ext.P14 in the light

of Ext.P13 and pass orders in accordance with law, as

expeditiously as possible. Hence, there shall be a direction that

the Secretary of the Board shall dispose of Ext.P14 within six

weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.

Benefits that are found payable shall be worked out and paid to

the petitioner within two months thereafter.
