The only grievance of the petitioner is that though he is entitled to fixation of pay on par with one Sri M.Rama Rao and M.V.Ramana in the cadre of assistants ‘C”, his case was not considered on par with them. It is the specific case of the petitioner that the case of those two persons was considered by the Assistant Manager in his letter dated 1.6.1994 addressed to the Senior Divisional Manager, Visakhapatnam. In this regard, the petitioner made several representations, but in vain. No counter is filed by the respondents and the representations made by the petitioner were not considered and disposed of even till date. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, the respondents are directed to examine the representation purported to have been made by the petitioner in this regard and pass appropriate orders as per law and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of three months from today. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
