RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.2316/2011-l ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 24th day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering at Government Engineering College, Thrissur. Initially, she entered service as Lecturer in Electrical Engineering under the Directorate of Technical Education Department on 24/09/1990. While the petitioner was continuing as such, on 24/09/1997, she was relieved as per Ext.P2 order dated 16/08/1997 of the second respondent for taking up the post of Assistant Engineer in K.S.E.B. Thereafter, the petitioner, after completing her M.Tech studies on part-time basis at Cochin University, she applied for repatriation to her parent department. That was finally allowed by the first respondent as per Ext.P3. The petitioner seeks for a direction to the second respondent to pass orders granting Senior Scale to the petitioner to the post of Lecturer with effect from 01/09/1996 instead of 04/03/2004 and correct the date of completion of 56 days of refresher course as 14/11/1994 instead of 14/11/2004. W.P.(C). No.2316/2011 -:2:- 2. The petitioner had actually rejoined the Government Engineering College, Sreekrishnapuram on 04/03/2004. The petitioner contends that the confirmation of Senior Scale with effect from 04/03/2004 was without taking into effect the earlier service. Exts.P9 and P10 are representations pending in the matter. Ext.P12 will show that the Principal has forwarded it to the Director of Technical Education. Therefore, there will be a direction to the second respondent to take appropriate decision on the representations, after notice to the petitioner, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of the writ petition along with a copy of the Judgment before the second respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/- (T.R.
