The petitioner was aggrieved with the denial of promotion to the post of First Grade Executive Officer. The petitioner had retired on 31.05.2015, after the above writ petition was filed. The learned counsel for the petitioner produces before this Court an order No.H-7/2178/2014/MDB dated 22.06.2015, wherein the petitioner has been granted promotion with retrospective effect from 2004 onwards. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the prayer is for promotion from 2002 onwards. However, it is to be noticed that, claiming promotion from 2002 onwards, the petitioner has approached this Court only in 2010. Hence, the said claim is only to be rejected for the untimely delay.
2. However, since the Devaswom Board has granted W.P(C). No.12549 of 2010 2 promotion to the petitioner with retrospective effect from 2004, pay shall be fixed and arrears, shall be paid within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. The enhanced amounts due as retirement benefits and gratuity shall also be disbursed to the petitioner. The petitioner shall be issued with a written communication as to the pay fixation made and computation of arrears. The petitioner shall be free to challenge such fixation and computation.
The writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
