A.Santhakumari Amma vs State Of Kerala on 30 June, 2009<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C).No. 211 of 2009(A)\n\n\n1. A.SANTHAKUMARI AMMA, IST GRADE\n                      ...

            Heard Smt. I.Sheeladevi, the learned counsel appearing for<\/p>\n
the petitioners and Sri.Antony Mukkath, the learned Government<\/p>\n
Pleader appearing for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n
            2. The petitioner is a pensioner. She retired from service<\/p>\n
on 31.5.2003 while working as First Grade Surveyor. The petitioner<\/p>\n
entered service as Second Grade Surveyor on 13.2.1969. She was<\/p>\n
thereafter promoted to the category of First Grade Surveyor. When<\/p>\n
the petitioner was appointed as Second Grade Surveyor, she was<\/p>\n
placed in the scale of pay of Rs.90 – 190. At that point of time, only<\/p>\n
those Second Grade Surveyors who had passed the Higher Grade<\/p>\n
Surveyor Test were given the scale of pay of Rs.100-210. By Exts.P1<\/p>\n
and P2 judgments, this Court held that all Second Grade Surveyors<\/p>\n
appointed in the scale of pay of Rs.90-190 are entitled to be placed in<\/p>\n
the scale of pay of Rs.100-210 with effect from the date on which they<\/p>\n
were appointed and are also entitled to payment of arrears of salary<\/p>\n
and allowances in the said scale of pay. Thereupon the Government<\/p>\n
issued Ext.P3 order dated 13.1.2000 in implementation of the<\/p>\n
directions issued by this Court in Exts.P1 and P2 judgments.<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.211\/2009                -:2:-<\/span><\/p>\n
            3. In the meanwhile, the scale of pay of Second Grade<\/p>\n
Surveyors was revised from Rs.100 – 210 to Rs.240-445 in the 1973<\/p>\n
pay revision and to Rs.350-580 in the 1978 pay revision. In view of<\/p>\n
these   developments, the petitioners and others who are similarly<\/p>\n
placed, claimed an opportunity to exercise re-option pursuant to the<\/p>\n
1973 and 1978 pay revisions. By Ext.P6 letter dated 16.3.2001, the<\/p>\n
Government directed that the beneficiaries of Exts.P1 and P2<\/p>\n
judgments and Ext.P3 Government order are not entitled to exercise<\/p>\n
re-option. Ext.P6 was challenged in this Court in O.P.No.5925 of 2003<\/p>\n
filed by persons similarly placed as the petitioners.    By judgment<\/p>\n
delivered on 29.8.2003, the said original petition was allowed. The<\/p>\n
judgment of the learned single Judge was confirmed by Ext.P7<\/p>\n
judgment delivered by a Division Bench of this Court. The Special<\/p>\n
Leave Petition filed therefrom by the State of Kerala was dismissed by<\/p>\n
the Apex Court by Ext.P8 order.\n<\/p>\n
            4. On coming to know of Ext.P7 judgment passed by this<\/p>\n
Court, the petitioner moved the Director of Survey and Land Records<\/p>\n
seeking the benefits flowing from the said judgment.         She also<\/p>\n
submitted Ext.P9 representation before the Director of Survey ad Land<\/p>\n
Records along with others similarly placed. She thereafter filed W.P.<\/p>\n
(C) No.970 of 2006 in this Court. By Ext.P10 judgment delivered on<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.211\/2009                -:3:-<\/span><\/p>\n
30.1.2006, a learned single Judge of this Court directed the Director of<\/p>\n
Survey and Land Records to consider Ext.P9 and pass orders thereon.<\/p>\n
The Director of Survey and Land Records accordingly passed Ext.P11<\/p>\n
order dated 28.4.2006.       The Government thereafter sent Ext.P12<\/p>\n
letter dated 16.12.2006 to the Director of Survey and Land Records<\/p>\n
wherein the Government took the stand that date of re-option cannot<\/p>\n
be extended beyond the date of effect of the subsequent pay revision<\/p>\n
order. Thereupon, persons similarly placed as the petitioner filed W.P.<\/p>\n
(C) No.19206 of 2007 in this Court.       By Ext.P14 judgment dated<\/p>\n
1.1.2008, a learned single Judge of this Court allowed the writ<\/p>\n
petitions with certain directions. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioners in<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.19206 of 2007 filed W.A. No.1397 of 2008. By Ext.P15<\/p>\n
order passed in the said writ appeal, a Division Bench of this Court<\/p>\n
stayed the operation of Ext.P12 letter sent by the Government to the<\/p>\n
Director of Survey and Land Records. While matters stood thus, the<\/p>\n
Accountant General revised the pensionary benefits payable to the<\/p>\n
petitioner and directed recovery of excess amount already drawn by<\/p>\n
her. This writ petition was thereupon filed challenging Ext.P12 letter<\/p>\n
sent by the Government to the Director of Survey and Land Records<\/p>\n
and Exts.P17 and P17 (a) proceedings issued by the Accountant<\/p>\n
General.\n<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.211\/2009                 -:4:-<\/span><\/p>\n
            5. It is now brought to my notice that the Director of<\/p>\n
Survey and Land Records has issued a Circular dated 7.4.2009<\/p>\n
pursuant to the judgment of this Court in O.P.No.5925 of 2003 and<\/p>\n
W.A.No.105 of 2005.       When this writ petition came up for haring<\/p>\n
today, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the<\/p>\n
respondents may be directed to re-examine the petitioner’s case in the<\/p>\n
light of the Circular dated 7.4.2009 issued by the Director of Survey<\/p>\n
and Land Records. In my opinion, as this writ petition was filed on<\/p>\n
1.1.2009, long before the Circular dated 7.4.2009 was issued by the<\/p>\n
Director of Survey and Land Records, the respondents should<\/p>\n
reconsider the petitioner’s case in the light of the said Circular.<\/p>\n
            6. In that view of the matter, I allow this writ petition,<\/p>\n
quash Ext.P17 and P17 (a) and direct the Director of Survey and Land<\/p>\n
Records to re-examine the petitioner’s case in the light of the Circular<\/p>\n
dated 7.4.2009 issued by him and to pass orders thereon within three<\/p>\n
months from the date on which the petitioner submits an appropriate<\/p>\n
representation     before him along with a certified copy of this<\/p>\n
judgment.     The petitioner shall also be afforded a reasonable<\/p>\n
opportunity of being heard. The Director of Survey and Land Records<\/p>\n
shall, after orders are passed as directed above, communicate a<\/p>\n
copy thereof to the petitioner. Thereafter, the rights of parties will be<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.211\/2009                -:5:-<\/span><\/p>\n
governed by the order passed by the Director of Survey and Land<\/p>\n
Records subject to the right of the petitioner to challenge the same in<\/p>\n
other appropriate proceedings if she is aggrieved thereby.<\/p>\n
                                          P.N.RAVINDRAN
