PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 35156 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 24th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Junior Public Nurse in Government service. Prior to regular appointment with effect from 4.12.1993 pursuant to the advice by the Public Service Commission, she had provisional service. According to the petitioner, insofar as the regular appointment was prior to 1.10.1994, the petitioner is entitled to reckoning of the provisional service also for the purpose of service benefits like higher grade, pay fixation etc, which have not been given to the petitioner. The petitioner further submits that although for the purpose of granting first higher grade, provisional service was reckoned, for granting second higher grade, provisional service was refused to be taken into account. The petitioner has, therefore, filed Ext.P6 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
