BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/12/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.K.DENESAN, J. ----------------------------- WP(C)No. 33123 OF 2006 ----------------------------- Dated this the 13th December, 2006. JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioners is that arrears of emoluments have not been granted to them despite judgments passed by this Court. If the petitioners are aggrieved by the non-payment of arrears of emoluments specific request in that behalf should be made before the appropriate authority. If such a representation is filed, the respondents will consider the same and take a decision. The ground taken by the petitioners against Ext.P7 is without any substance at all. Ext.P7 is a general order passed by the Government granting a bunch of benefits to part time casual sweepers and protecting some of the rights enjoyed by them in terms of previous orders. There is nothing in Ext.P7 which can be considered as injurious to the petitioners. I find no substance in the contentions raised by the petitioners against Ext.P7. 2. Without filing even a representation before the concerned authorities this writ petition has been filed. Hence the directions sought for cannot be granted. The petitioners are free to move the appropriate authorities and seek for orders. Certainly their grievances as may be highlighted in such representations shall have to be WPC 33123/2006 2 considered by the competent authority in the light of the judgments already pronounced in their cases an the orders of the Government on the subject. Without prejudice to the above, the Writ petition is dismissed. K.K.DENESAN Judge jj
