MR.V.V.N.NAMBIAR, SC FOR R1 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.5688 of 2010 (I) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 22nd day of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T According to the petitioner, he was advised by the Public Service Commission for appointment as a Driver in the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. He says that he was thereupon appointed as a Reserve Driver on daily wages, and this position continued till his absorption in the regular service with effect from 21/03/1990. He continued as such, and retired from service with a qualifying service of 9 years and 3 months, as a result of which he is not getting pension. His contention is that he is entitled to the benefit similar to what was granted by this Court in Ext.P6 judgment in WPC(C) No.2776/2004 and that his entire service is liable to be reckoned for quantifying his qualifying service for pension. It is seen that the petitioner has raised this claim before the 1st respondent by filing Ext.P7 and orders have not been passed thereon. 2. Having regard to the fact that the 1st respondent is yet to WP(C) No.5688/2010 -2- take a decision in the matter, it is directed that the 1st respondent shall consider Ext.P7 and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. Orders shall be passed duly adverting to Ext.P6 judgment also. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition before the 1st respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
