BY ADV.MR.K.PRABHAKARAN, S.C., K.S.R.T.C. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/03/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.8490 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 14th March, 2007 JUDGMENT Adv.Mr.K.Prabhakaran, takes notice on behalf of the K.S.R.T.C. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that he was assigned light duty due to the injuries sustained on account of an accident and that though there was no category change with the concurrence of the Public Service Commission, his salary has been reduced and refixed in the post of Store Issuer, the light duty post which was assigned to him. His claim is that since he is still holding the substantive post of Conductor, he is entitled for getting service benefits attached to that post. I do not propose to examine the genuineness of the above claim. Ext.P3 representation has been submitted by the petitioner before the Managing Director of the K.S.R.T.C. The Managing Director of the K.S.R.T.C. will take up Ext.P3, consider the same in the light of the various ground raised in the Writ Petition, hear the petitioner and take a decision on Ext.P3 at the earliest (since the petitioner is retiring on 31.5.2007) and at any rate within two months of receiving a copy of this judgment together with a copy of the Writ Petition and all the exhibits. The Writ Petition will stand disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
