JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved as he is not granted benefits of higher grade on completion of 20 years service as Headmaster in a primary school. It is seen that higher grade promotion is sanctioned only with effect from 16.09.1985 based on G.O.(P) 515/85/Fin. dated 16.09.1985. The petitioner retired from service on 31.03.1985. There is no challenge to the government order dated 16.09.1985. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the prescribed cut off date as per the said government order, it is for the petitioner to approach the government for appropriate clarification. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. rv
