SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 2765 of 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an association of Pharmacists in Government services. They have certain grievances regarding the recommendation of the 9th pay commission in respect of revision of scales of pay of Pharmacists. The petitioner has filed Ext.P1 representation before the Government in this regard. They seek a direction to the Government to consider Ext.P1 while taking a decision on the pay commission report. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that, the finalisation of the revision of scales of pay pursuant to recommendations of the Pay Commission is in the final stage and if individual representations are to be considered at this point of time, the process can never be completed. It is further submitted that after the decision of the Government a sub-committee would be formed for considering the anomalies in the fixation of scales of pay W.P.(C)No. 2765 of 2011 -2- and at that time the petitioner can represent to the anomaly rectification committee. I am also satisfied that if I am to direct the Government to consider representations like Ext.P1 at this point of time, the process would never end. Accordingly without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach the Anomaly Rectification Committee after the Government takes a decision on the pay commission report, this writ petition is dismissed.
