      THIS    WRIT     PETITION    (CIVIL)   HAVING   COME    UP    FOR
ADMISSION     ON     27.08.2021,   THE   COURT   ON   THE    SAME   DAY
DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 17379 OF 2021
                                       4




                                JUDGMENT

Dated this the 27th day of August, 2021

The petitioners are working as LDC (non cadre) and

UDC (non cadre) in the various outlets of the second

respondent Corporation. The grievance of the petitioners

is that, in the staff fixation which was approved by the

Government by Ext.P4, there are several anomalies.

Ext.P5 is the representation submitted by them pointing

out the anomalies in staff fixation. Further grievance of

the petitioners is that unless those anomalies are

rectified, it may affect the carrier prospects of several

persons.

2. The second respondent took notice through the

learned Standing Counsel Adv. T. Naveen. The learned

Government Pleader who took notice, invited my

attention to Ext.P5 and submitted that the representation

was submitted to the Minister and not to the

Government.

3. Having considered the limited prayer made by WP(C) NO. 17379 OF 2021

the petitioners and after hearing the learned Counsel for

the petitioners, learned Standing Counsel for the

Beverages Corporation and learned Government Pleader,

I am inclined to dispose of the Writ Petition itself by

directing the petitioners to file a detailed representation

before the Government pointing out the anomalies,

within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of

a copy of this judgment and the Government shall

consider the above after giving a reasonable opportunity

of being heard to the representatives of the petitioners as

well as the representatives of the second respondent, and

pass appropriate orders within a period of two months

thereafter. Promotion if any, effected in the meanwhile

will be subject to the ultimate result, on such

representation.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.
