JUDGMENT The petitioner is the widow of Sri.M.Appukuttan Pillai who died on 3.1.1989, while in service. He was a Police Constable in the State Police Force. 2. He had joined service as a Police Constable in the Malabar Special Police (MSP) formed by the Government of India in 1964. After the said force was disbanded, he was absorbed in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). Later on, he was absorbed in the State Police force as a Police Constable. 2. The petitioner claims that her husband was entitled to the benefit of continuity of service from the date of his initial recruitment in the MSP, III Battalion. According to her, as per Ext.P1 judgment, similar benefit has been granted to others. She claims that she should also be granted the said benefit. It is pointed out that consequent to Ext.P1 judgment, Ext.P4 order has been passed by the second respondent granting the benefits wpc no.27531/2011 2 to similarly placed persons. Exts.P7 and P8 are also similar orders. In view of Exts.P4, P7 and P8, I am of the opinion that the petitioner is also entitled to similar relief in the matter. In the result, this writ petition can be disposed of directing that Ext.P5 representation submitted by the petitioner be considered and disposed of on an early date. 2. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to consider and pass orders on the representation of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P5 in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the second respondent for compliance. SD/- K. SURENDRA MOHAN Judge css/ TRUE COPY p.s.to judge
