SANTHOSH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 2082 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 20th day of January, 2011. J U D G M E N T While the petitioner was working as Deputy Tahsildar at Kozhancherry, he was promoted as Tahsildar by order dated 15.5.2010. By Ext. P1 order, the District Collector directed that the petitioner be relieved in the forenoon of 19.5.2010. The petitioner was so relieved and he took up charge as Tahsildar. But, in the last pay certificate (LPC) a mistake has allegedly crept in, as per which the petitioner was stated to have been relieved only in the afternoon of 19.5.2010. According to the petitioner, the fact that the petitioner was relieved in the forenoon of 19.5.2010 is clear from the charge transfer report submitted and accepted, namely, Ext. P12. In view of the discrepancy in the LPC, the petitioner is not getting salary in the post of Tahsildar is the petitioner's grievance. The petitioner would get salary only if the LPC is appropriately corrected. Seeking this relief, the petitioner has filed Ext. P14 representation before the 2nd respondent-District Collector. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders Ext. P14 expeditiously. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P14, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sd/- S.
