¶14

The grievance raised by the Petitioner in the present Writ Petition is that he was appointed on 7.2.1989 but has been denied increments from the date immediately after completion of one year's period of joining of his duties.

¶15

The reason for filing the present Petition is that the similarly placed persons, who were also initially denied increments have subsequently on a representation being made to the Government, been granted the same. The Counsel for the Petitioner referred to a decision of this Court passed in W.P. (S) No.6266/2008 (Annexure R-3) wherein, the High Court has disposed of the Petition with a direction to the Petitioner therein to raise his grievance before the concerned authorities who in turn, shall decide the same in accordance with law, on its own merits and prayed for a similar relief to the present Petitioner also.

¶16

Neither the pleading in the Writ Petition nor in the reply of the State, is

¶18

it clear as to whether the Petitioner at all has been granted the benefit of the annual increment even from a subsequent date. Petitioner submits in his petition that a few persons have been given similar benefits.

¶19

A perusal of the Petition also reveals that the Petitioner has also not agitated his case before the Respondents/State Government by moving any representation or at least the Writ Petition is silent to this effect.

¶20

Therefore, in the opinion of this Court, ends of justice would meet if the Petitioner is directed to approach the Respondents with a detailed representation of his claim also with the details of the persons who according to him, have been granted similar relief, that the Petitioner is seeking, within a period of 30 days from today. The Respondents in turn shall, on receipt of such representation, proceed to decide the representation on its own merits as expeditiously as possible.

¶21

With the aforesaid direction, the instant Writ Petition stands disposed of. Sd/-
