SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.14241 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of May, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner retired as Hospital Attendant Gr.I from the Leprosy Sanitorium, Nooranad of the Government of Kerala. The petitioner submits that the petitioner's qualifying service for computation of pension has been wrongly calculated, insofar as it has been fixed as 16 years instead of 21 years 5 months and 7 days as on the date of retirement. Pointing out this, the petitioner has filed Exts.P3 to P5 representations. The petitioner seeks disposal of the same. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. Ext.P3 is filed before the Accountant General, Ext.P4 before the Secretary, Health Department and Ext.P5 before the Superintendent, Leprosy Sanatorium, Nooranad. I am of opinion that the representation is best considered by the 1st respondent. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4, after W.P.(C)No.14241/11 2 affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
