K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J --------------------------------------------- W.P.(c)No.27832 of 2011 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of October 2011 JUDGMENT The first petitioner is working as a District Government Pleader and Public Prosecutor in Kozhikode District. The other petitioners are working as Additional Government Pleaders. They have filed this writ petition claiming that they are also entitled to enhancement in their salaries proportionate to the enhancement that has been granted to the Government Pleaders of this Court as per Ext.P4. They have submitted Ext.P6 representation to the first respondent. They seek the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P6. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. Since Ext.P6 is pending consideration of the first respondent, I do not want to express any opinion on the merits of the contentions raised in this writ petition. It is sufficient that Ext.P6 is directed to be considered and Wpc No.27832 of 2011 2 disposed of without delay. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P6 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
