The post of Helper (Electrical) was re-designated as Lineman Grade II as per order dated 5.4.1997. As per the pay revision order 1998, the posts of Lineman Grade I and Lineman Grade II were merged into a common cadre as Lineman. The above change was incorporated into the Special Rules by Ext.P9 amendment also. Thereafter, on the basis of the re- designation, pay and other allowances were sanctioned to the employees. 2. The petitioners have filed this writ petition aggrieved by the issue of Exts.P10 and P11 guidelines which are in contravention of Ext.P9 Special Rules. The petitioners have, therefore, submitted Ext.P13 WPC No.34167 of 2011 2 representation setting out their grievances. They complain that the first respondent has not passed any orders thereon, till date. Therefore, they seek the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration of Ext.P13. 3. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. Since Ext.P13 is pending consideration of the first respondent, it is sufficient that this writ petition is disposed of directing the consideration thereof. 4. This writ petition is, accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P13 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, 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.
