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

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.
