It is contended that he is entitled to get the benefit of higher grades on completion of the requisite period of service in terms of Government Orders on the subject. Ordinarily, the respondent ought to have granted the benefit of higher grades without any delay; because the petitioner had been filing representations before the respondent requesting to grant higher grade and payment of the amount due to him. 2.

Feeling disappointed, when repeated requests fell on WP(C).No.15959 of 2006. - : 2 :- deaf ears, this writ petition has been filed. Counsel for the petitioner rightly submits that unless directions are issued by this Court, the petitioner will not get justice from the respondent. 2. Heard Government Pleader for the respondent. 3.
