GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.R.BINDU THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. ----------------------------------------- W.A.NO.1065 OF 2006 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J. The appellants, on finding that their juniors are drawing higher pay than them, moved the Government by filing Exhibits P11 and P15 representations. The learned Single Judge by judgment under appeal directed the Government to consider those representations. Contending that this Court should have issued more positive directions to the Government to grant the reliefs sought in those representations, this appeal is filed. 2. We notice that the juniors of the appellants are drawing higher pay because the appellants have failed to appropriately exercise their option in time. The grievance of such persons can be redressed only by the Government. Now the matter is pending before the Government. Therefore, we find no reason to interfere with the judgment of the learned Single Judge. If the appellants are aggrieved by the decision taken on their representations or going to be taken on them, they can resort to appropriate WA.1065/06 2 remedies available to them. Therefore, it is unnecessary to entertain this appeal. Accordingly, this Writ Appeal is dismissed, without prejudice to the contentions of the appellants. If the Government has not so far passed orders on the petitioners' representations, the same shall be done within four months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
