THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 14133 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner is working as Lab Technician Grade-II, in the 1st respondent Institute. Even while in employment, he studied P.G. Diploma Course in Cardio Vascular Technology, in the 1st respondent Institute, and he was declared passed by notification, dated 28.7.2005. The 1st respondent issued proceedings, dated 12.2.2002, stipulating the pay-scales for various categories of employees. A clause was added to the effect that two additional advance increments would be released in favour of Para-medical staff, if they possess Two-years P.G. Diploma Course, in the concerned subject, with monetary benefit from 1.8.2001. Soon after declaration of results, the petitioner made a representation to the respondents, for releasing advance increments. However, vide letter dated 16.10.2005, the Deputy Registrar, the 3rd respondent herein, informed the petitioner that his case would be considered, as and when he produces the Convocation Certificate. The grievance of the petitioner is that, on the one hand, the respondents are delaying issuance of Convocation Certificate, and on the other hand, denying the benefit of advance increments, and he seeks appropriation direction, in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Though the results of the petitioner in P.G. Diploma in Cardio Vascular Technology Course, were declared in the year 2005, the Convocation Certificate was not issued, so far. Inasmuch as the course was conducted by the 1st respondent Institute itself, there must not have been any difficulty, in releasing the increments, duly verifying whether the petitioner had passed the course. Hyper technical stand was taken, insisting the petitioner, on producing the Convocation Certificate, little realizing that the said certificate is with the respondents themselves. Today, the learned Standing Counsel has handed over the Convocation Certificate to the learned counsel for the petitioner. With this, the obstacle in the matter of granting advance increments, stands removed. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner, to produce the Convocation Certificate before the 3rd respondent, who, in turn, shall take immediate steps for releasing the increments, after verifying the eligibility of the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ 8th July 2008 PAN
