SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.8031 OF 2005 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT The issue involved in this writ petition is as to whether the petitioner is entitled to reckon her past service in an aided College for the purpose of pensionary benefits on retirement as Professor in the Institute of English of the University of Kerala. In this respect the Registrar of the University of Kerala has addressed the 2nd respondent by issuing Ext.P7 letter. Now the petitioner confines her prayer for a direction to the 2nd respondent to take a final decision pursuant to Exts.P7 and P8. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P7 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If the Accountant General is to do anything in this regard, he shall also address himself to the question on receipt of appropriate intimation from the 2nd respondent within a period of one month W.P.(c)No.8031/05 2 from the receipt of such intimation from the 2nd respondent. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
