REMANY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ================== W.P(C)No.26861 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 4th day of September, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner was absorbed in 2nd respondent as Deputy General Manager in the scale of pay of Rs.14300-400-18300 by Ext.P1. The scale of pay of that post was revised as Rs. 25,400- 33,100 in the 2006 pay revision. However, on such revision there was a difference in scale of pay between the petitioner and his superior. Therefore, by Ext.P2 the petitioner's scale of pay was re-fixed as Rs.16,650-23,200. According to the petitioner this would cause great loss to the petitioner in his net salary. Therefore, the petitioner filed Exts.P5 and P6 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 and 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 Exts.P5 and P6, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of W.P(C)No.26861 of 2008 - 2 - receipt of copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall forward a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this judgment to the 1st respondent for compliance. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs
