JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that he is working as Upper Primary School Teacher ("UPST") in the New Higher Secondary School, Nellimoodu. His grievance in this petition concerns the non-approval of the service rendered by the petitioner prior to 01.06.2011 and the denial of benefits to the petitioner including salary. The petitioner asserts that raising his grievances, he has preferred Exhibit P4 representation before the 1st respondent. The petitioner would further contend that as per Exhibit P6 order, the teachers similarly placed as the petitioner have been granted benefits. It is in the afore circumstances that this writ petition is filed seeking directions.
2. Sri. Suresh Kumar Kodoth, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the limited request of the petitioner at this stage is for issuance of directions to the 1st respondent to expeditiously consider Ext.P4 and pass appropriate orders within a time frame.
3. I have heard Smt. Nisha Bose, the learned Senior Government Pleader. In the nature of order that I propose to pass, notice to the 5th respondent is dispensed with.
WP(C) NO. 10930 OF 2022 3
4. After having carefully evaluated the contentions raised in this writ petition, the submissions made across the Bar, and the facts and circumstances, I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of by issuing the following directions:
a) There will be a direction to the 1st respondent to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4 adverting to Exhibit P6, after affording an opportunity of being heard, either physically or virtually, to the petitioner herein or his authorised representative and the 5th respondent.
b) Orders, as directed above, shall be passed expeditiously, in any event, within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
c) It would be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the writ petition along with the judgment before the concerned respondent for further action.
This writ petition is disposed of.
