SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 25075 OF 2010 H ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th August, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner alleges a number of anomalies in the fixation of his pay pursuant to the 8th pay revision which is to be given effect from 1.4.2007. The petitioner is working as a Record Keeper/Bill Collector under the second respondent's branch at Irinjalakkuda. Pursuant to Ext.P1 Government Order the pay of the petitioner and others were revised with effect from 1.4.2007. The petitioner also exercised his option by submitting Ext.P3. According to the petitioner, since he entered service as early as on 19.7.1973, the petitioner became entitled to be granted the fourth grade on 19.7.2001 on completion of 28 years of services. Further, the basic pay of the petitioner as on 1.4.2007 has been fixed wrongly causing financial loss to the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner submitted Ext.P4 representation to the second respondent requesting him to pass appropriate orders curing the anomalies pointed out. The petitioner complains that no orders have been passed on Ext.P4, though the same has been pending for the past more than six months. The petitioner therefore seeks appropriate directions for the consideration and disposal of Ext.P4 WPC 25075/2010 2 on an early date. Adv. P.C. Sasidharan who appears for the respondents 2 and 3 seeks time to get instructions. However, since Ext.P4 is pending before the second respondent, it is better that the complaints of the petitioner are considered by the said authority, in the first instance. Therefore, this writ petition can be disposed of directing a consideration of Ext.P4. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner set out in Ext.P4 representation in accordance with law and to pass final orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner also.
