RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.34035 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of December, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Principal of the M.I. Higher Secondary School, Ponnani. In the writ petition, the main relief sought for is for a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of Exts.P8 and P10 after taking into account Exts.P11 and P12. There is a further prayer to order stepping up of pay of the petitioner on par with her admitted junior Smt.K.A. Noorjahan. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. 3. Going by the averments in the writ petition, it can be seen that the petitioner was appointed as Principal on 01.05.2004. Initially she was granted only a charge allowance of Rs.250/- per month. The approval of appointment was granted from 06.01.2006. It is pointed out that Smt.K.A.Noorjahan has got her pay fixed at Rs.15,130/- from 01.09.2006 in the scale of Rs.11,070-18,450/- as per Ext.P4 whereas the petitioner is W.P.(C) No.34035/2011 2 drawing only a salary of Rs.14,750/- only. This is the anomaly the petitioner requires the Government to address and take appropriate remedial action to re-fix the pay of the petitioner. 4. Ext.P8 is the revision petition filed by the petitioner in the year 2010 which is stated to be pending. After the present pay revision order was issued, the petitioner was again filed Ext.P10 by way of another revision petition. There will be a direction to the competent authority to consider and pass orders on Exts.P8 and P10, after notice to the petitioner, within a period of five months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
