THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 35820 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 30th day of November, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the Principal of JPHN Training Center, Thalayolaparambu in Kottayam District. She is due to retire on 31.3.2011. Prior to entering the Government service, the petitioner had military service. She has two grievances in this writ petition. The first is that her military service has not been counted for the purpose of grant of higher grade. In respect thereof, the petitioner has filed Ext. P5 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner's another grievance is that the petitioner's probation in the post of Vice Principal was not declared, consequent to which the petitioner lost six increments. In respect thereof, the petitioner has filed Ext. P6 representation before the 2nd respondent. For the present, the petitioner would be satisfied with a direction to the respondents to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 and P6 expeditiously. The learned Government Pleader points out that the question of reckoning of military service for higher grade can be considered only by the Government and not by the 1st respondent. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: Respondents 1 and 2 shall forward Exts.P5 and P6 respectively to the Government within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. On receipt of the same, the Secretary, Health Services shall consider and pass orders on the same as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months thereafter, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
