RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.27572 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of October, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a part-time Lecturer in Law in the N.A.M. College, Kallikandy, Panoor in Kannur District. She is also practicing as an Advocate. She joined as part-time Lecturer on 23.08.1997 on a consolidated pay of Rs.1200/- + admissible D.A. The University approved her appointment as per Exhibit P2. The pay of the petitioner was revised as Rs.3,250/- + admissible D.A. with effect from 25.08.1997. In March 2006, the petitioner had drawn a total salary of Rs.5,330/-. But, for the next month, she was paid only a total salary of Rs.4,200/-. She was informed that the pay has been revised as per G.O.(P) No.145/2006/Fin. dated 25.03.2006. It is the case of the petitioner that normally a pay revision will not result in reduction of actual pay received at the time of revision. 2. Exhibit P5 representation was filed by the petitioner to set right the anomaly. The petitioner submitted a further W.P.(C) No.27572/2009 2 representation Exhibit P7. Later by Exhibit P8, the Government corrected the anomaly and the pay in respect of the post of part- time Lecturer in Law was revised as Rs.5,500/- + D.A. The petitioner, on verification of the details, understood that even the said amount arrived at is also not correctly fixed. The petitioner relies upon Annexure 2 in Exhibit P4. 3. The petitioner has filed Exhibit P9 representation before the Government. It is prayed that the Government may be directed to consider the matter as requested for in Exhibit P9. There will be a direction to the respondents 3 and 4 to take a decision on Exhibit P9 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and communicate their decision to the petitioner. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
