IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM
P.M. MANOJ, J
STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE CHIEF SECRETARY, GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT,THIRUVANANTHAPURAM – Appellant
Versus
DR V G MADHURIMA – Respondent
RP NO. 399 OF 2023 | W.P.(C) NO.13210 OF 2018



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: GOVERNMENT PLEADER
For the Respondents: SRI.JIMMY GEORGE,GOVERNMENT PLEADER

The review petition is allowed, and the previous writ petition is restored based on compliance with the representation.

Headnote:This is a review petition where the Government appeals against the judgment dated 18.03.2021 concerning W.P.

(C) No. 13210 of 2018. The petitioners stated that while other writ petitions relate to Rule 14E of Part III of the Kerala Service Rules, W.P.

(C) No. 13210 deals solely with a representation for granting gratuity, and compliance with the main prayer has made the writ petition infructuous. The Court evaluated these claims and deemed it necessary to modify the earlier judgment, thereby allowing the review petition and restoring the writ petition to file.

Table of Content
1. government's review petition regarding compliance with representations. (Para 1 , 2)
2. court's modification and restoration of writ petition. (Para 3)

ORDER

The review petition has been filed by the Government, aggrieved by the judgment dated 18.03.2021 in W.P.(C) No. 1033 of 2020 and the connected matters.

2. It is the contention of the review petitioner that, though the other writ petitions pertain to Rule 14E of Part III of the Kerala Service Rules, W.P.(C) No. 13210 of 2018 is in no way connected thereto and only concerns the consideration of a representation for granting the balance gratuity amount. The petitioner in W.P.(C) No. 13210 of 2018, however, has submitted that the main prayer in the writ petition has already been complied with by the respondents by considering Ext.P3 representation and passing appropriate orders.

In such circumstances, the writ petition has become infructuous.

3. Upon evaluating these contentions, I deem it appropriate to modify the judgment dated 18.03.2021 to the extent of recalling the judgment in W.P.(C) No.13210 of 2018 and to record that the said writ petition, in view of the submission made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner therein, has become infructuous upon disposal of Ext.P3 representation as sought in the writ petition.

Accordingly, the review petition is allowed and W.P.(C) No.

13210 of 2018 is restored to file.
