Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr. B.SHIVA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent: Mr. P.VINAYAKA SWAMY The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in not fixing the scale of the petitioner duly protecting the Driver’s scale at Rs.8,425/- and not giving the increments, which he is entitled for the years 2002-03 and 2003- 04 as arbitrary and illegal and consequently, to direct the respondents to fix the petitioner’s pay duly protecting the Driver’s scale of pay by adding increments for the years 2002-03 and 2003-04. Heard both sides. Admittedly, there are no impugned proceedings in this case. It seems, the petitioner for the very same relief made a representation on 20-12-2004 to the respondent, but the same is not considered and is still pending with the respondent. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the representation purported to have been made by the petitioner on 20-12-2004 and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. 28-4-2005 prk ASSSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
