J U D G M E N T The petitioners are persons who have retired from service as Higher Grade Draftsmen Grade-I/Higher Grade Overseers Grade-I in the Public Works Department. Their pay scale was Rs.2060-3200, which is equivalent to the pay scale of Assistant Engineer. By successive pay revisions, the pay scale applicable to them has been enhanced to Rs.20740-36140. The first petitioner has retired on 29.2.1996 and the second petitioner on 30.6.1995. The petitioners claimed revision of their pension on the basis of Ext.P6 Government Order. However, no action has been taken on their representations so far. According to the petitioners, Ext.P2(a) is a representation submitted by the first petitioner while Ext.P3 is the representation submitted by the second petitioner. The petitioners seek the issue of a WP(C).No.32770/2011-U. 2 direction to consider and dispose of their representations. 2. I have heard the learned Govt.Pleader also. 3. In view of the limited relief that is claimed, I am of opinion that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and pass orders on the representations of the petitioners. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioners set out in their representations, evidenced herein by Exts.P2(a) and P3 respectively and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
