RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.28015 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the inaction of the respondents in disposing of the representation, dated 06.04.2005, made by the petitioners, as arbitrary, illegal and violative of principles of natural justice; and consequently to direct the respondents to consider the said representation made by the petitioners. The case of the petitioners, retired employees, is that, initially they worked in the hostel attached to the Engineering College of the respondent University and were later absorbed into the service of the University with effect from 01.11.1990. While so, their grievance is that, they made a representation to the 1st respondent on 06.04.2005 requesting to take into account the past service rendered by them in the hostel i.e. prior to 01.11.1990 for the purpose of calculating pensionary benefits, but the same is not yet disposed of. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 1st respondent is directed to consider the representation purported to have been made by the petitioners on 06.04.2005, and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, and communicate the same to the petitioners. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 28th December, 2007. IBL
