(C) No. 37423 OF 2009 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 23rd day of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Police Constable. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite his entitlement to the benefit of the latest pay revision order viz., G.O(P)No. 145/2006 dated 25.3.2006, the same has not been extended to him till date. The petitioner had undergone training during the period from 1.4.2005 to 15.11.2005. His contention is that the denial of the benefits to the petitioner and the others who are included in Ext.P1, would amount to arbitrary discrimination. 2. The petitioner has produced Ext.P6 communication dated 19.12.2008 issued by the Director General of Police to the Inspector General of Police(Training) to support his contention regarding his entitlement. In the matter of a claim for benefits flowing from a pay revision, initially, the same has to be decided by the Government. As noticed herein before, the claim of the petitioner is that he is entitled to the pay revision benefits arising out of the Government Order dated 25.3.2006 especially in the light of Ext.P6. I am of the view WPC.37423 of 2009 : 2 : that it is a mater which requires consideration by the first respondent and to enable the Government to have a proper consideration in the matter the petitioner will be free to file a representation pointing out all these contentions. Therefore, the petitioner may file such a representation within a period of two weeks. In case, such a representation is received, the first respondent shall consider and pass orders thereon within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the representation. The Writ Petition is disposed of. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A. To Judge
