JUDGMENT

The petitioner is working as High School Assistant (HSA) in an aided school. The petitioner submits that she is working as HSA since 27.1.1995. The petitioner was granted higher grade and senior grade with retrospective effect, consequent upon correcting the service records in respect of the date of commencement of the service. However, the petitioner's re-option in respect of 16 years time bound grade and 2009 Pay Revision have been declined. Aggrieved by the above, the petitioner approached the first respondent by Ext.P4.

In view of the limited request made by the petitioner is for an early disposal of Ext.P4, there shall be a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on the same within a period of four months after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
