Department as Junior Assistant and was promoted as SubRegistrar (Grade-II) with retrospective effect and retired from service on 30.06.1993 and the petitioner was given retrospective promotion from 12.05.1977 by the proceedings of the first respondent dated 25.01.2011.
3. The grievance expressed by the petitioner is that the consequential pay fixation and the revised pension have not been done. In this regard, the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 02.08.2016 to the first respondent and it was also followed by a reminder dated 07.09.2016. Since no positive response is given, he came forward to file the writ petition.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of the Court to the typed set of documents and would submit that the office of the Accountant General (Accounts & Entitlements), Tamilnadu, has sent a communication dated 26.08.2016 to the 3rd respondent requiring certain particulars and further invited the attention of this Court to the letter of the 2nd respondent dated 16.09.2016 to the 3rd respondent wherein the said official was directed to inform the action taken to the petitioner and inspite of it, no orders have been passed for pay fixation and revised pension. Therefore, the petitioner is constrained to approach this Court.
