COCHIN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (CUSAT), REPRESENTED BY ITS REGISTRAR, KOCHI-682 022. 2. THE FINANCE OFFICER, COCHIN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (CUSAT), KOCHI-682 022. ADV. SRI.K.S.MOHAMMED HASHIM,SC,CUSAT,COCHIN FOR R1-2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 35875 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 17th day of December, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner, while working as a Special Grade Peon, retired from service on 30.4.2005 on attaining superannuation from the school of Marine Science of the 1st respondent University. The petitioner originally joined as a Watchman on 31.7.1968. The petitioner had a total service of 36 years and 9 months as on the date of retirement. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the petitioner has not been given the 25 year time bound higher grade, consequent pay fixation and consequent retirement benefits with reference to such pay fixation, which, according to the petitioner, the petitioner is entitled to in view of the 8th Pay Revision, which was implemented in the respondent-University. The petitioner submits that the claim of a similarly placed person was upheld by this Court by Ext. P8 judgment, consequent to which the University has passed Ext. P9 order, granting identical benefit to that person. The petitioner seeks similar benefits in this writ petition. The petitioner submits that seeking this relief, the petitioner has already filed Exts.P10 and P11 before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts. P10 and P11 expeditiously. 2. Counsel for the University seeks further time to get instructions. Insofar as I am only directing the 1st respondent to consider Exts.P10 and P11 in the light of Exts. P8 and P9, I do not think that this case should be further adjourned for enabling the standing counsel to get instructions. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to W.P.C. No. 35875/2010. -: 2 :- consider and pass orders on Exts.P10 and P11 in the light of Exts.P8 and P9 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
