THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P T O VK S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 27139 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 2nd day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was provisionally appointed as a Female Attender in the Pathanamthitta Municipality on 4.8.1980. She continued in service till 31.12.2000 and retired from service on attaining 55 years of age. She was not given any retirement benefits. Another similarly placed Female Attender approached this Court by filing W.P.(C).N0.22201 of 2007 in which, Ext.P12 judgment was passed, wherein I held that the petitioner in that writ petition is entitled to regularisation in service, but only for the purpose of retirement benefits. Pursuant to that judgment, the petitioner in that writ petition was given benefits as per Ext.P13 order of the Government. Seeking identical reliefs, the petitioner has filed Ext.P14 representation before the 2nd respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P14 expeditiously in the light of Ext.P12 and P13. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In so far as in the case of an identically situated Female W.P.(C).No. 27139 of 2010 2 Attender of the same Municipality, Exts. P12 judgment and Ext.P13 order has been passed in favour of that employee, it would only be appropriate that the 2nd respondent considers the petitioner's case also in the light of Exts.P12 and P13. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P14 filed by the petitioner, in the light of Ext.P12 and P13 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 2 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
