JUDGMENT
Dated this the 8th day of April 2021
This writ petition is filed seeking the following reliefs:
i) issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ, order or direction commanding the 3rd respondent to sanction Higher Grade for 8 years and Senior Grade for 16 years taking into account the Last Grade Service and Clerk as observed in Exhibit P2 judgment.
ii) Issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ order or direction commanding the 3rd respondent to allow the scale of Junior Superintendent to the petitioner for 3 rd Higher Grade.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned
Government Pleader.
3. It is submitted that pursuant to Ext.P6 judgment, orders
have not been rendered by the Government and that some further
time is required for complying with the directions.
I am of the opinion that since the writ petition has been
disposed of in 2019, the contention that further time is required to
pass orders cannot be accepted. The respondents are duty bound to
pass orders within the time frame as granted by this Court or at
least within the extended time. In the above view of the matter, this
writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to see that WP(C).No.3245 OF 2021(E)
orders are passed as directed in Ext.P6 within a period of one month
from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
