The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that the petitioner had completed eight years of service as a Typist in the respondent- Corporation, but still his case has not been considered in spite of giving representation dated 30.06.2003 and therefore, a direction may be given to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner. 3. On the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for the first respondent contended that if the petitioner is otherwise eligible in pursuance of the G.O.Ms.No.290 dated 29.07.1973, the benefits will be given to him and therefore, a direction may be given to the petitioner to file an application before the competent authority. 4. The facts as narrated by both the parties are not in dispute. But when the petitioner has completed eight years of service, the issue relates to the question as to whether the petitioner is entitled for any special increments on completion of eight years of service, the same to be decided by the first respondent in accordance with the rules and regulations as laid down in the service conditions of the employees of the first respondent-Corporation. For that purpose, the petitioner made a representation dated 30-06-2003. But the first respondent has not passed any orders. 5. On considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to give a direction to the 1st respondent. Therefore, the 1st respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 30.06.2003, if it is available with him and, if not available, the petitioner is directed to file an application within one week from today and thereafter the same shall be considered in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks. 6. Accordingly, the Writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ December 13, 2004 KVR TO 1. The Managing Director, A.P. Scheduled Castes Service Cooperative, Finance Corporation Ltd.
