The petitioner states that though the said period had expired, and despite his making representation dated 01.09.2006 to 2nd respondent to grant the increment, the same has not been granted till date. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, and both of them agreed for disposal of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondents are directed to consider and dispose of the representation dated 01.09.2006, and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 29th September, 2006. KSR
