According to the petitioners since they entered regular service prior to 01.10.1994, the provisional service is liable to be counted for higher grade, which benefit is not being extended to the petitioners. In the above circumstance, they have filed Ext.P2 representation before the first respondent. Petitioners seek a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders after affording an opportunity of being heard to the first petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
