SHRI V.V.NANDAGOPAL NAMBIAR, SC, KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.12546/2010-P ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 26th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are employees of the first respondent- Corporation. Prior to their regular appointments, they were having different spells of appointments as casual labourers on daily wage basis. According to the petitioners, provisional service followed by regular service is liable to be counted for increments and other service benefits. It is pointed out that the Corporation has denied the said benefits to them and, seeking for consideration of their claims, they have filed Exts.P10 and P11 representations. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation submitted that Ext.P11 even though dated 26/03/2010, was received only on 24/04/2010. 3. I am not finally pronouncing on the rights of the petitioners since the representations are yet to be considered by the Corporation. There will be a direction to the Corporation to consider Ext.P11 with notice to the petitioners within a period of five months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
