MR.SUNITHA VINOD, SC FOR KERAFED THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.12265 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 25th day of May, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are employees of the 1st respondent. 2. In this writ petition, what is sought for by them is fixation of pay in the revised scale and extension of the benefit thereof. They are also praying that instead of variable Dearness Allowance, they are entitled to get the Dearness Allowance as applicable to Government employees. According to the petitioners, these benefits have already been extended to the employees other than themselves. It is seen that urging the aforesaid claims on behalf of the petitioners, the trade union has already approached the 1st respondent by filing Ext.P5 and orders on Ext.P5 has not been passed so far. 3. Taking into account the aforesaid facts, I dispose of the writ petition itself directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P5 and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of WP(C) No.12265/2009 -2- this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. It is clarified that this Court has not dealt with the contentions raised on merits. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
