J U D G M E N T The petitioner, admittedly, commenced regular service after 1-10-1994. The claim made by the petitioner that she shall be given the benefit of provisional service while granting increments cannot, therefore, be allowed. The legal position has been settled by the Full Bench of this Court in State of Kerala v. Ponnamma [(2005)4 KLT 987 (FB)]. Hence, the request made by the petitioner as per Ext.P1 will go against the Full Bench ruling aforementioned. The Writ petition is devoid of merit and it is dismissed. K.K.DENESAN, JUDGE. kvs/-
