Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.P.GOVINDA RAJULU Counsel for the Respondent: MR.VENKATESWARLU POSANI The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: The petitioner retired from service voluntarily with effect from 16-1-1997. His grievance is that the respondent without fixing any pay and without adding dearness allowance paid certain amount. Therefore, he made an application to consider his case to pay additional monetary benefit and to fix his pay by allowing special grade increment. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that in spite of giving representation to the respondent, no action is taken and, therefore, he prays to direct the respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner. He contends that it is for the respondent Corporation to take appropriate decision as per the regulations of the Corporation. The petitioner retired from service voluntarily on 16-1-1997. Whether he is entitled for special grade increment or whether he is entitled for additional monetary benefit, the same shall have to be considered by the respondent Corporation as per the regulations and the rules governing the service conditions of the petitioner. The petitioner made a representation to the Depot Manager, Kurnool on 6-1-2003, but Divisional Manager is the competent authority to pass appropriate orders. Therefore, the writ petition can be disposed of directing the petitioner to submit a representation to the Divisional Manager within a period of two weeks from today and the same shall be considered by the Divisional Manager within a period of six weeks thereafter. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ 15th July 2004.
