TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE tss S.SIRI JAGAN, J. --------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 8963 OF 2009 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of October, 2010. JUDGMENT Petitioner retired from the service of the Government of Kerala as Police Driver on 30.11.2008. He has certain grievances regarding fixation of his last pay and consequential retirement benefits. According to the petitioner, one increment due to him has not been counted for the purpose of last pay and retirement benefits. He would submit that as evident from Ext.P7 and P10 to P13, other employees identically retired like the petitioner have been given higher retirement benefits. Therefore the petitioner would submit that petitioner is entitled to the same retirement benefits as the persons covered by Exts.P7, and P10 to P13. The petitioner now confines his prayer for a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the case of the petitioner in the light of Exts.P7 and P10 to P13. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider whether the petitioner is similarly placed like the persons covered by Exts.P7, P10 and P13 so as to enable him to draw retirement benefits like them and pass appropriate orders on the claims of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
