Prior to entering in Government service, she had aided school service from 6.6.1979 to 11.1.1983. Petitioner's pay was fixed taking into account the service in aided school also. It was objected to by the audit party and steps have been initiated for re-fixing the pay and recovering the excess salary drawn. According to the petitioner, after 25 years of fixation of pay this cannot be done. Detailing this grievance, petitioner has filed Ext.P4 representation before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4, as W.P.(C) No.2262/2008/T -2- expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
