J U D G M E N T Petitioner retired from the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation after 27 years of service. Prior to joining Kerala State Road Transport Corporation, he was an employee of the Transport Department of the Government. According to the petitioner, in view of Exts.P1 and P2 orders of the Government, the employees of the State Department who are transferred to the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation are entitled to pensionary benefits as provided in Exts.P1 and P2. The petitioner alleges that in 2006, the Government introduced a scheme for “one rank one pension” in Government service, which is applicable to the petitioner also by virtue of Exts.P1 and P2. But, the petitioner has not been given that benefit is the grievance of the petitioner. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has submitted Ext. P5 representation before the 1st respondent.
