They are being given variable D.A. According to them, they are entitled to fixed D.A. as applicable to Government servants. Seeking this relief, the petitioners have filed Ext.P3 before the 1st respondent. For the present, the petitioners confine their relief for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously. They would contend that as per Ext.P1, such relief has been granted to contingent employees of the Corporations. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the 1st petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. It would be open to the petitioners to rely on Ext.P1 in support of their contentions and the applicability of the same to the petitioners' case shall also be considered by the 1st respondent.
