J U D G M E N T Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the issue involved in this case is squarely covered in favour of the petitioner in view of the judgment in W.P(C).No.482/2005. 2. While conceding that the judgment in the above case is in favour of the petitioner, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that W.A.No.2529/2005 has been preferred against the said judgment. It may be so. In my view , since this Court has already settled the issue in identical cases, I do not find any reason not to grant the relief prayed for by the petitioner. Therefore the writ petition is allowed. Appropriate consequential orders shall be passed by respondent No.3 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
