The recital in paragraphs 5 and 6 of the impugned order would reveal that essentially, the question to be decided is whether the Bar service rendered by the appellant/petitioner prior to his entry into Secretariat service could be added to the qualifying service, as qualifying service for determining his pensionary benefits. Needless to say that subject to the said answer, a re-quantification of pensionary benefits may become necessary. At the same time, we are of the considered view that the said question, especially in view of the recital in paragraphs 5 and 6, would undoubtedly go to show that the issue involved is purely a service matter which could be resolved only by a forum constituted for that purpose. There can be no doubt with respect to the position whether the Bar service rendered by the appellant could be added to his qualifying service could be resolved by the Kerala Administrative Tribunal constituted under the Administrative Tribunal's Act, 1985. In such circumstances, taking into account the nature of the issues involved, we do not find any reason to disagree with the conclusion
