The petitioner is working as Lower Primary School Assistant under the 3rd respondent Manager. Ext.P3 is the copy of the audit objection. According to the petitioner, the same will result in initiation of recovery proceedings against the petitioner and to set right the anomaly, the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 representation. It is pointed out that the fixation as far as the petitioner is concerned has been correctly done. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since recovery steps are being taken, the Government may be directed to take a decision on Ext.P4 representation within a time frame. 4. Heard the learned Government Pleader who submitted that Ext.P4 is only dated 06.12.2011. W.P.(C) No.33512/2011 2 There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P4, after hearing the petitioner, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, the recovery pursuant to Ext.P3 will be kept in abeyance. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
