ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.6653 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 2nd March,2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is presently working as Assistant Registrar (SC/ST) attached to the office of the Joint Registrar (General) of Co-operative Societies, Thrissur. She was advised by the Kerala Public Service Commission as per Advice No.R1A(1) 21763/83/G.W dated 7.1.1985 and appointed as Junior Inspector of Co- operative Societies as per Order dated 28.1.1985 of the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies (General). 2. Before the present appointment on a permanent basis, the petitioner had been provisionally appointed as Junior Inspector of Co-operative Societies with effect from 1.1.1983 as sponsored by the Employment Exchange. The said provisional service continued up to 17.9.1984 ( for a period of one year and 9 months). During this period, she had taken maternity leave for the period from 1.3.1983 to 30.05.1983. After the period of leave, the provisional service continued till the date of her termination. Exhibits P1 and P2 are W.P ( C) No.6653 of 2009 2 produced in support of the above plea. 3. Presently the main relief sought for in the writ petition is for a direction to the 1st respondent to issue necessary orders to the effect that the provisional service rendered by the petitioner prior to her regular appointment by Public Service Commission shall be counted for increments and other consequential pensionary benefits. Petitioner contends that in similar case in the judgment in O.P. No.15049 of 1994 (Ext.P3), this Court had upheld the said right. 4. Since the petitioner has filed Exhibit-P5 representation before the 1st respondent seeking for appropriate orders in the matter, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Exhibit-P5 and pass orders thereon, in accordance with law, within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.6653 of 2009 3 W.P ( C) No.6653 of 2009 4
