O R D E R

The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking issuance of Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents 2 and 3 to revise and regularize the service seniority and to give notional promotion and to revise the pension with monetary benefits equal to the post of Inspector of Police Rank to the petitioner on the basis of the implementation order passed to the one D.Thangapandiyan SSI, S.Michel Antony SSI, R.Paul Durai SSI and their proceedings C.No.A1/12265/2013, R.O.O.No.141/2015 dated

27.03.2015 and on the basis of the petitioner's representation dated 28.03.2019.

2.Heard the arguments advanced on either side. 3.The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner was appointed as Grade II PC on 19.12.1982 in the Tamil Nadu Special Police Battalion and retired as Sub Inspector of Police on 30.04.2017. The petitioner made several representations to the respondents seeking to revise and regularize his service seniority and to give notional promotion and to revise the pension with monetary benefits equal to the post of Inspector of Police and the last of such representation was made on 28.03.2019, however, the same has not yet been considered. Hence, this writ petition.

4.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that in the case of similarly situated persons like the petitioner, service seniority was revised with monetary benefits, however, the petitioner's case was not considered. He would further submit that without going into the merits of the case, it would suffice, if this Court issues direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 28.03.2019 and to pass appropriate orders, within a stipulated time frame.

5.Considering the limited request made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, I am inclined to issue direction to the respondents to consider the petitioner's representation dated 28.03.2019, on merits and in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders, within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

6.The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS IV) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar
