It was not being counted by the respondent KSRTC. Hence this Writ Petition. Heard the learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Corporation also. There is no serious dispute that the petitioner is entitled to count the provisional service upto 1.10.1994. Accordingly the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to count the provisional service of the petitioner in the Corporation upto 1.10.1994 along with his regular service for the purpose of granting the benefits due to him. An order will be passed in this regard within a period of six weeks from WP(C) NO.15570/07 C 2 the date of production of a copy of this Judgment.
