RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.24508 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of September, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a retiree from the service of the Kerala Police Department. This Writ Petition has been filed mainly with the prayer to issue a writ of mandamus commanding the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 and to grant the benefits declared by Ext.P1 regarding increments. Earlier, the petitioner and other aggrieved persons had approached this court by filing W.P.(C).No. 7354 of 2011. The said Writ Petition was withdrawn without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to pursue the alternative remedies before the Government. Subsequently, the petitioner and others approached the Government through Ext.P2 representation. Despite the receipt of Ext.P2, no decision has been taken thereon. The contention of the petitioner is that in view of Ext.P1 judgment, the petitioner is entitled to the benefit sought for. In view of the fact that Ext.P2 representation is pending before the Government, I do not think it necessary to consider the contentions raised by the petitioner, on merits, at this stage. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction W.P.(C) NO.24508 of 2011 2 to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. While considering the entitlement of the petitioner, the first respondent shall also look into Ext.P1 judgment. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.24508 of 2011 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J.
