RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.25064 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a retired Professor and Head of the Department of Philosophy, Maharaja's College, Ernakulam. She is seeking for a direction to the Government to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 representation which is already forwarded by the Government to the 2nd respondent Director of Collegiate Education for urgent action. 2. It is a case where the petitioner retired from service on superannuation on 31.03.1986. The pension has been sanctioned counting only 28 years of service and her claim is that she has actually put in more than 31 years of service. Exts.P2 and P3 are the representations filed in the matter in which the service details of the petitioner have been given. Ext.P1 is the counter affidavit filed by the Government in O.P.No.930/1975 and it is pointed out that therein all the details are available. Since Ext.P3 representation has been forwarded by the W.P.(C) No.25064/2011 2 Government to the Director of Collegiate Education as per communication dated 14.06.2011 (Ext.P4), there will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to examine the claim of the petitioner with the details available and communicate the decision to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
