JUDGMENT The writ petition is filed for a direction directing the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (for short 'Corporation') to issue necessary orders to regularise the service of the petitioner based on Ext.P5 Order and promote him accordingly and revise the pension reckoning the actual period of service of the petitioner from his initial engagement/appointment and disburse all consequential benefits including arrears of pay and pension with interest immediately. 2. The petitioner retired from the service of the first respondent Corporation as a Vehicle Supervisor on 31.3.2011. The Corporation issued Ext.P5 order to regularise the service of all drivers as that of the petitioner, who were initially engaged as Empaneled Drivers on competition of 240 days reckoned from his W.P.(C) No. 20325 of 2011 2 initial engagement/appointment as Empaneled Driver. Ext.P5 is the order dated 26.5.2007. The petitioner is seeking the benefit of Ext.P5 order . According to him, his services should have been regularised on 24.5.1993. But the Corporation had regularised his service very belatedly. The petitioner approached the first respondent for an order to regularise his service with retrospective effect on competition of 240 days from 24.5.1993, to sanction grade promotions with retrospective effect and all consequential benefits including arrears of pay and pension. It is submitted that Ext.P6 representation is pending consideration before the first respondent. In the circumstances, a direction is issued to the first respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P6 representation in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. HARUN-UL-RASHID JUDGE al
