JUDGMENT

The petitioners assert that the period spent as empaneled conductors is liable to be reckoned as qualifying service for the purpose of increment, pension and other benefits. The petitioners have in this regard submitted Ext. P2 representation and rely on Exts. P3 and P4 judgments in W.P.(C). Nos. 14388/2012 and 26810/2014.

I direct the second respondent to consider Ext. P2 representation with notice to the petitioners within a period of two months.

The writ petition is disposed of.
