Prior to the commencement of the regular service under the Water Authority the petitioner rendered provisional service of one year and three months from 26.6.1978 to 29.9.1979 under the Public Health Engineering Department. Essentially, the grievance of the petitioner is regarding the non-reckoning of the aforesaid provisional service from 26.6.1978 to 29.9.1979 for the purpose of fixing the pension. Raising such grievances, the petitioner has already preferred Ext.P2 representation dated 18.12.2008 before the second respondent. It is on being aggrieved by the inaction on the said representation that this writ petition has been filed. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents 2 and 3. As already noticed hereinbefore, raising all such WPC.No.22068/2011 : 2 : grievances relating to the non-reckoning of the aforementioned provisional services the petitioner has already preferred Ext.P2 representation and it is still pending before the second respondent. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 representation taking into account the relevant provisions under Kerala Service Rules. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //True Copy// P.A to Judge
