W.P.(C.) No.5688 of 2010 (I)
---------------------------------
Dated, this the 22nd day of February, 2010
J U D G M E N T
According to the petitioner, he was advised by the Public
Service Commission for appointment as a Driver in the Kerala State
Road Transport Corporation. He says that he was thereupon
appointed as a Reserve Driver on daily wages, and this position
continued till his absorption in the regular service with effect from
21/03/1990. He continued as such, and retired from service with a
qualifying service of 9 years and 3 months, as a result of which he is
not getting pension. His contention is that he is entitled to the
benefit similar to what was granted by this Court in Ext.P6 judgment
in WPC(C) No.2776/2004 and that his entire service is liable to be
reckoned for quantifying his qualifying service for pension. It is
seen that the petitioner has raised this claim before the 1st
respondent by filing Ext.P7 and orders have not been passed
thereon.
2. Having regard to the fact that the 1st respondent is yet to
WP(C) No.5688/2010
-2-
take a decision in the matter, it is directed that the 1st respondent
shall consider Ext.P7 and pass orders thereon. This shall be done
as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of
production of a copy of this judgment. Orders shall be passed duly
adverting to Ext.P6 judgment also.
The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment, along
with a copy of this writ petition before the 1st respondent for
compliance.
This writ petition is disposed of as above.
(ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE)
