RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.37588 OF 2010 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of June, 2011. J U D G M E N T Both the petitioners are working as Technical Assistants Grade III under the University. The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the respondents to take a final decision in Exts.P2 and P3 representations after placing the matter before the Syndicate in the light of Exts.P1, P4 and P5. 2. It is averred in paragraph 4 of the writ petition that the University as per order dated 16.02.1993 introduced the Technical Cadre (Scientific) with effect from 18.08.1992. Their complaint is that they were inducted to the technical cadre with effect from 23.08.1995 and 18.10.1999 respectively with financial assistance only from 05.05.2000. Though the petitioners were having Diploma with long years of service, their claim for placement in the Technical cadre (Scientific) based on qualification and experience was denied. 3. The respondents 1 and 2 have filed a counter affidavit. W.P.(C) No.37588/2010 2 In paragraph 3 it is pointed out that a final decision on the representations of the petitioners has not been taken as yet as the promotion pattern of the technical personnel under CAS is presently under consideration of the Committee of the Syndicate constituted for framing statutes in the University following Government's approval in the introduction of CAS for Technical Staff in the University. 4. In the light of the above, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the respondents may be directed to consider the representations within a time frame. 5. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the University who submitted that sufficient time may be granted for taking a final decision. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take an appropriate decision on the representations submitted by the petitioners within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
