They retired from the service of the Police Department on superannuation on various dates. Their grievance pertains to the date from which the order of pay revision was given effect to in the matter of revision of pay scales attached to the post of Sub Inspector of Police. 2. The pay attached to the said post in terms of G.O.(P) No.3000/98/Fin dated 25.11.1998 was revised as per Ext.P1 dated 12.07.99. Subsequently it was further modified as per Ext.P2. But, it was given effect only with effect from 16.10.00 as is evident from Ext.P2. The contention of the petitioners is that since the revision for the pay attached to the post of Sub Inspector of Police revised as per Ext.P1, the revision made as per Ext.P2 also should have been given retrospective effect from 01.03.97. Raising such grievances, the petitioners had already approached the 1st respondent by filing Exts.P3 to P6 W.P.(C)No. 7095 OF 2010 -:2:- representations. 3. Without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioners, I am disposing of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Exts.P3 to P6 representations which are pending, carrying the request for the aforesaid relief, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioners will be at liberty to supplement the earlier representations, if they so desire, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
