R1 & R2 BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ S.SIRI JAGAN, J. --------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 31800 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of October, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of the first respondent in enhancing the working hours of Medical College Hospital employees without correspondingly increasing their salary. They seek a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 representation filed by the petitioner before the second respondent Pay Commission in that regard, in respect of their claim for enhancement of wages corresponding to the enhancement of the working hours. I am not inclined to direct the second respondent to consider the representation at this belated stage, since the Commission is in the final stage of preparing the report for submitting to the Government. If at this point of time they are directed to consider further representations, it would only delay submission of the report. Therefore without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to take up the matter with the Government appropriately, this Writ Petition is closed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE. mns
