JUDGMENT Radhakrishnan,J. Original Petition was preferred by the appellant seeking a writ of certiorari to quash Exts.P4 and P6 and also for a direction to the respondents to refix the pay of the petitioner treating the date of re- option as 5.1.1993, the date of his regular promotion and to refix his pension and related claims on the basis of such revised pay. Though the petitioner's request was recommended by the Superintendent of Police, the same was objected to by the Accountant General stating that there is no provision to opt after the date of promotion as per pay revision 1992. The objection raised by the Accountant General was also accepted by the Government by Ext.P6 dated 26/2/2001 wherein it is stated that there is no orders/rules to opt a date after the date of promotion as per the pay revision 1992. As per Rule 15, Annexure III to G.O.(P) No.3000/98/Fin dated 25.11.1998, re-option to past pay revisions are possible only in cases involving court WA 1895/03 -: 2 :- order/retrospective promotions. In the circumstances, we see no error in the judgment of the learned single Judge. Writ Appeal is dismissed. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. Antony Dominic, Judge. ess 29/6
