JUDGMENT The petitioner seeks for a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P6 representation, within a time frame. The petitioner is working as Junior Health Inspector Grade II in Ottappalam Municipality and the complaint is regarding the rectification of anomaly in the grant of time bound higher grade. Ext.P7 shows that the Municipality has already forwarded the representation to the Government on 27.4.2011. 2. Ext.P1 is the judgment of this Court in W.P.(C) No.24190/2008. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the same will have to be applied as such and in the light of the direction therein that the petitioner is entitled to have the provisional service in the Health Service Department, reckoned for increments. But it is pointed out that when consequential orders are passed, as per Ext.P2 the benefit is granted only from 1.3.2006, instead of 5.11.2004. Highlighting this aspect, the petitioner has filed a fresh representation as per Ext.P6. Ext.P5 is the copy of the order, rejecting his request once. 3. There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P6 in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner, within a period wpc 19251/2011 2 of five months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed anything on the merit of his claim. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
