GOVT.PLEADER SRI.DILIP MOHAN R1 TO R3 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.15368 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner was appointed as Full Time Menial in the AEPM Higher Secondary School, Irumpanangadu in Kollam District. He had worked in the said post from 11.3.2002 to 26.3.2009. The said appointment of the petitioner was not approved by the third respondent on the ground that the 51B claim of one Smt.Ambily was not considered while effecting appointment of the petitioner. Ultimately, the said claim of Smt.Ambily was upheld and, thereafter, she was appointed as Full Time Menial with effect from 27.3.2009. The contention of the petitioner is that since he had worked from 11.3.2002 to 26.3.09 and the appointment of Smt.Ambily was approved only with effect from 27.3.09, he is entitled to the salary for the period he had worked. Making such a claim, the petitioner has already approached the first respondent by filing Ext.P1 representation. Despite the receipt of Ext.P1 representation, no orders have been passed thereon by the first respondent, it is submitted. Whether the petitioner is entitled to the said claim for W.P.(C) NO.15368/2010 2 salary for the aforesaid period is a matter that requires consideration of the first respondent. Admittedly, the petitioner has already approached the first respondent through Ext.P1 representation and the same is pending consideration. In the circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P1 representation submitted by the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.15368/2010 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. W.P.(C). NO. /2010 JUDGMENT 11th May, 2010 W.P.(C) NO.15368/2010 4
