THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12164 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner is working as Deputy Plantation Manager in the respondent Corporation. The Pay scales of the employees of the Corporation were revised, in the years 1999 and 2005. The petitioner states that he was not extended the benefit of the said revisions of pay, in spite of several representations, between 2003 and 2008. This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondent, in not extending the benefit of revised Pay scales of 1999 and 2005 to the petitioner, as arbitrary, illegal and discriminatory, and for necessary directions. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The question as to whether the petitioner is entitled for the benefit of revised Pay scales, and if so, the extent thereof, needs to be considered by the respondent. As of now, the respondent does not appear to have taken any definite stand, vis-à-vis the claim made by the petitioner. The representations, which were made on 28.10.2003 and 10.2.2005, and the latest one being 30.3.2008, on the same subject, cannot be kept pending indefinitely. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 30.3.2008, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ 13th June 2008 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/0) PAN
