RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.8167 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T All the petitioners herein are permanent appointees as Security Guards in the University. They were appointed on respective dates shown in paragraph 4 of the writ petition. The grievance raised by the petitioners is that already many of them have completed 50 years but they may not get pension if the eligibility for pension is calculated from the dates of permanent appointment. All of them had provisional service much earlier. It is in these circumstances, seeking for interference in the matter, they have filed Ext.P4 representation before the Vice Chancellor of the University. The contention raised by them therein is that the rank list was prepared in the year 2005 but delay occurred in making the appointments. 2. Learned Senior Counsel for the petitioners prayed that the Vice Chancellor may be directed to take a decision on Ext.P4 representation. W.P.(C) No.8167/2011 2 There will be a direction to the Vice Chancellor to take a decision on Ext.P4 representation in accordance with law within a period of two months and communicate the decision to the petitioners. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
