Petitioners submit that they are entitled to have their provisional service reckoned for increments and higher grade. Although in Ext. P10, the Assistant Executive Engineer takes the stand that increment has been granted taking into account the provisional service also, according to the petitioners, it is an incorrect statement. Petitioners in this regard have filed Exts.P5 to P9 before the second respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on the same expeditiously. Having heard the Government Pleader also, I dispose of this Writ Petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 to P9 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the first petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
