DATED THIS THE 7TH DAY OF AUGUST, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner says that he entered service at a point of time earlier to that of fourth respondent. According to him, he has been overlooked for promotion to the cadre of Charge man. He attributes it to an erroneous application as to the reckoning of the period of leave availed under Appendix XIIA of Part I, Kerala Service Rules. He says that the consequence of the provisions in Appendix XIIA of Part I, Kerala Service Rules does not result in the deprivation of any portion of the total length of service and that the legal issue in this regard is covered in favour of the petitioner as per Ext.P4 and P5 judgments. 2. Having regard to the submissions, preserving the right of the fourth respondent to contest the matter and hence dispensing with notice to him, this writ petition is ordered directing that first respondent would take up Ext.P3 and decide on it, after hearing the petitioner and if needed, the fourth respondent and taking into consideration all relevant aspects. Let a final decision follow Wpc 22511/2009 2 within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/7/8
