THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 35787 OF 2008 (I) ==================== Dated this the 4th day of December, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that she was appointed as a Lecturer in English w.e.f. 6/6/94 and that by Ext.P1, the same was approved by the University. According to her, she was placed in the senior scale w.e.f. 6/6/99 and that by Ext.P2, that also was approved. Still later w.e.f. 6/6/04, petitioner submits that she was placed in the Selection Grade, which also was approved by Ext.P3. It is stated that Ext.P3 and the related papers regarding her placement in the Selection Grade were forwarded to the 3rd respondent, but however the 3rd respondent has not passed orders for the release of the monetary benefits arising therefrom. Counsel for the petitioner also submits that her claim is entirely covered by Ext.P4, a judgment of this Court in WP(C) No.11789/08 and therefore, there is absolutely no reason for the 3rd respondent to delay the matter any further. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, her placement in Selection Grade by Ext.P3 has been approved by the University also, the same is binding on the 3rd respondent. If according to the 3rd respondent any clarification is necessary, the course open to him is to seek the same from WPC 35787/08 :2 : the University. This is the view taken consistently by this Court in several cases. 3. Now that according to the petitioner, the matter is pending before the 3rd respondent, the 3rd respondent is directed to consider the matter in the light of Ext.P4 judgment and pass appropriate orders thereof. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 3rd respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
