VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ----------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.34579/2008 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner retired as a Junior Superintendent from the Collegiate Education Department. Subsequent to his retirement, with effect from 17.9.2004, he was promoted as Senior Superintendent, by Ext.P1 order. That was approved by Ext.P2 order passed by the 2nd respondent. It is stated that, in the meanwhile, by Government order dated 25.3.2006, pay and allowance were also revised. 2. Petitioner complains that pay based on Ext.P1 order of promotion as Senior Superintendent has not been revised and that his pension and other benefits also has not been revised on that basis. Complaining of this petitioner has filed Exts.P5 to P8 representations before the respondents No.4,2 and 1 and in this writ petition he seeks 2 an order for extending the aforesaid benefits. Having regard to the fact that his claim is yet to be considered by the departmental authorities, before whom it is pending, I am not inclined to issue a positive direction as sought for. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the first respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P8, if the same has been received and is pending, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Petitioner shall produce a a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. 3
