MR.ARAVIND KUMAR BABU, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.24704 of 2010 (K) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 6th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is working as a Record Attender under the 1st respondent. According to the petitioner, although he is entitled to the scale of pay of Rs.5,250 - 8,390/-, he is being paid the scale of pay of Rs.4,630 - 7,000/-. He claimed higher scale by filing Ext.P1 representation to the 1st respondent. According to the petitioner, his claim has already been recommended by respondents 3 & 2 as per Exts.P2 & P4 respectively. Despite of this, orders have not been passed on Ext.P1 and the petitioner is due to retire from service on 31/03/2011. It is in these circumstances, this writ petition has been filed. Thus, the claim of the petitioner raised by Ext.P1 is pending before the 1st respondent and therefore, I direct the 1st respondent to pass orders on Ext.P1 representation duly adverting to Exts.P2 & P4 also. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
