J U D G M E N T

Exts.P4 and P4(a) orders of assessment are obviously not in tune with the law laid down in Jomy Tomas Manjooran v. KSEB Thiruvananthapuram and others [2013 KHC 95]. The same are accordingly quashed directing the third respondent to redo the exercise in the light of the decision aforequoted.

2. The needful shall be done with notice to the petitioner within a period of one month from today. This is however subject to the condition that the petitioner pays a sum of ` 28,852/- (Rupees Twenty Eight Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty two only) towards the dues within a period of two weeks. The Writ Petition is disposed of.

Sd/- V.CHITAMBARESH, Judge.
