JUDGMENT Both the petitioners herein have already retired from service. They are seeking restoration of Ext.P1 assessment promotion to the post of Professor from 13.12.1989. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners brought to my notice the decision of the Redressal Committee, a copy of which has been produced as Ext.P6 in W.P.(C) No.15140/2008 which is Ext.P9 in W.P.(C) No.12508/2008. It is submitted that the decision of the Redressal Committee is in favour of the petitioners, as evident from the minutes, viz. item No.10 therein. The same is extracted below: “10) Promotion given and subsequent reversion: Dr.K. Pushkaran, Dr. B. Rajagopalan and Dr. N. Remabai the three retired teachers of KAU were reverted as Associate Professor from the cadre of Professor. It was decided to restore their Professorship with reference to Sri P.C. Mathe and to place their cases before the Executive Committee for implementation.” Evidently, the matter will have to be considered by the Executive Committee, as pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel for the wpc 12508/08 & 15140/08 2 University. 3. Since the decision by the Redressal Committee is the only one now and the Executive Committee will have to take a decision for implementing it, there will be a direction to the second respondent to place the matter before the Executive Committee in terms of the minutes of the Redressal Committee as evident from Ext.P6 produced in W.P.(C) No.15140/2008 and Ext.P9 in W.P.(C) No.12508/2008 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and the Executive Committee will take an appropriate decision within a further period of two months. Depending upon the decision to be taken, the monetary benefits will also be disbursed to the petitioners, without further delay. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
