JUDGMENT Petitioners are employees of the first respondent. They contend that while working as Conductors, they were put on other duty as Store Assistants and even though engaged on light duty as Store Issuers, they are entitled to service benefits attached to the substantive post of Conductors. They have requested for such benefit by making Exts.P1 and P2 representations in 2007 and 2008. They state that their plea is supported by the judgments which are placed on record by them as Exts.P3 to P5. As of now, therefore, they seek a direction that Exts.P1 and P2 be considered by the competent authority among the respondents. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents also suggests that a decision could be taken by the competent authority on WP(C)13569/09 -: 2 :- Exts.P1 and P2. For the foregoing reasons, this writ petition is ordered directing that the competent among the respondents will take up Exts.P1 and P2 and render decisions thereon in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The applicability of Exts.P3 to P5 to the case of the petitioners would also be appropriately adverted to while taking such decisions. All other issues are left open. It is clarified that this Court has not expressed anything as to the applicability or otherwise of the afore-referred judgments to the case of the petitioners. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE.
