SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.4503 of 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of February, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners are subordinate staff working in the service of Velur Service Co-operative Bank Ltd.No.465, Velur, Thrissur. They are continuing in the entry post, without any promotion. According to the petitioners, the Government have sanctioned higher grades to employees like the petitioners. By Exts.P8 and P9, the Government have sanctioned the 4th higher grade to persons like the petitioners. However, the complaint of the petitioners is that they have not been granted the higher grades till date. The first petitioner is on the verge of retirement. Therefore, according to the petitioners, the delay in sanctioning the higher grade is causing needless hardship to the petitioners. 2. In view of the fact that the higher grades have already been sanctioned by Exts.P8 and P9, there is no reason why the 4th higher grade is not granted to the petitioners. The Bank has by Exts.P12, P13 and P14 also wpc No.4503/2010 2 recommended the grant of such higher grades to the petitioners. However, the same can be implemented only after getting approval of the Assistant Registrar. 3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider Exts.P12 to P14 in accordance with law, in the light of Exts.P8 and P9 and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
