JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned Government Pleader. 2. W.P.(C) No.14479 of 2005 was preferred by the appellants seeking a writ of certiorari to quash Ext.P7 series and for a direction to the respondents to grant the scale of pay of Assistant Lecturer to the petitioners with effect from the date on which they have acquired the qualification for the said post even though the said post was abolished with effect from the the year 2000 and also for a declaration that the petitioners are entitled for the grade in the scale of pay of Rs.6,675 – 10,550 as Assistant Lecturer since all of them were qualified for promotion before abolition of the said post and for other reliefs. Ext.P7 series are the communications issued by the Director, Technical Education to the Principal of the Colleges concerned. Noticing the mistake, petitioners preferred Ext.P9 series of WA 1594/07 -: 2 :- representations before the Government for the implementation of the Government order. But the Government have not taken any action on the above said representations. Hence we direct the Government to pass orders on the representations within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that they are proposing to file a comprehensive representation raising all the contentions along with documents. They may do so. Those representations should also be considered by the Government and pass orders. Writ Appeal is disposed of as above. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 11/7
