BY GOVT.PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.37708 of 2009 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of January 2010 Judgment The petitioner is working as a Driver in the third respondent Municipality. His complaint is that the prior service put in by him as a temporary employee as well as a provisional employee has not been reckoned for computing his total length of service. It is the case of the petitioner that as per Ext.P5 government order, he is entitled to get his prior temporary service also reckoned as part of his permanent service. He has submitted Ext.P6 representation before the second respondent setting out his grievances and seeking redressal of the same. However, the representation has been remaining pending, without any orders being passed thereon for the past more than a year. In the above circumstances, I feel that this Writ Petition itself can be disposed of directing the second respondent to WP(C)No.37708/2009 2 consider and pass orders on ExtP6 representation submitted by the petitioner. 2. In the result, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider and pass final orders on Ext.P6 representation, after hearing the petitioner also, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner is permitted to produce a copy of the judgment before the second respondent for compliance. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, Judge css/
