BY ADV. SRI.G.SUKUMARA MENON SMT.DEEPTHI S.MENON RESPONDENT(S): ------------------------- THE DIRECTOR, INDIAN SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C).20630/2010 -------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July, 2010 JUDGMENT Petitioner is a Pharmacist under the Indian Systems of Medicine since 6.10.1999. According to the petitioner, her probation was declared with effect from 18.12.2008 as per Ext.P2. In this writ petition the claim of the petitioner is for arrears of increment due from November, 2007. Claiming the said benefit she has filed Ext.P3 representation before the respondent. No response was forthcoming. Therefore, this writ petition is filed. 2. Learned Government Pleader rightly points out that Government decision No.2 to Rule 31 of Part-I, KSR provides that the increment arrears after the declaration of probation shall be drawn with effect from the date of completion of probation. Evidently therefore, the claim of the petitioner can only be from the period subsequent to 18.12.2008 when her probation was declared. The claim of the petitioner raised in this writ petition W.P.(C).20630/10 2 which is reiterated in Ext.P3 representation, is for the period prior to the declaration of her probation and therefore is inadmissible. Writ petition fails and it is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
