THIS WRIT PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN B GROUP THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.NAGAPRASANNA) 1. The petitioner is before this Court seeking the following prayer. a.

Girija S. - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:17382 WP No. 102659 of 2025 Hiremath for respondent No.1 and the learned counsel Sri. Chetan Munnolli for respondent Nos.2 to 5. 3. Petitioner is said to have been appointed as an FDA in the State and later he is deputed permanently to the Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Ltd. The present claim is against the Neeravari Nigam Ltd. for grant of annual increment, stagnation increment, travelling allowance in terms of the representation submitted by the petitioner for the period between January 2022 to June 2022. That having not been considered is what has driven the petitioner to this Court to seek the aforesaid prayer. 4. The learned counsel Sri. Chetan Munnolli refutes the claim of the petitioner on the score that it is projected after three years of submission of the representation. Therefore, seeks dismissal of the petition. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to the submissions of the learned counsel for parties and have perused the material on record. 6. The afore-narrated facts lie in a narrow compass.
