cad 3 According to the petitioner, albeit as per her appointment order dated 18.03.1983, her appointment was purely temporary for the duration of the project, she was continued in service sans any interruption from the date of her appointment, viz., 18.03.1983 and ergo, her pending representations deserve to be considered. In support of this contention, the petitioner garners support from Rule 11(1) of the Tamil Nadu Pension Rules.
4 Given the limited scope of the relief sought by the petitioner, without going into the merits of the case, the respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on the petitioner's representations dated 08.03.2012 and 24.01.2017 on their own merits and in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
With the above direction, this writ petition stands disposed of. Costs made easy.
