2. The petitioners have prayed for the following relief(s):- I) For issuance of an appropriate writ in the nature of Mandamus commanding and directing the respondents concerned to grant matric trained pay scale with effect from the date of
Patna High Court CWJC No.9171 of 2023 dt.16-05-2024 2/3 joining of the petitioners as well as grant senior pay scale to the petitioners on completion of 12 years of their service in light of the Division Bench Judgment dated 16.08.2017 passed in L.P.A. No. 756 of 2015 as well as the order dated 20.04.2018 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 7255 of 2018. II) For issuance of any other order(s)/direction(s) for granting any other relief/reliefs for which petitioners are found entitled under the facts and circumstances of the case.
3. At the very outset, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the case of the petitioners is squarely covered with the Division Bench Judgment dated 16.08.2017 passed in L.P.A. No. 756 of 2015 as well as the order dated 20.04.2018 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 7255 of 2018, hence the present writ petition can also be disposed of in light of the aforesaid order and judgment.
4. In view of the fair submission made by learned counsel for the petitioners, in my view, no useful purpose would be served keeping this writ application pending.
5. Accordingly, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to file a fresh representation before the District Education Officer, Munger (respondent no.6) along with the supporting documents within a period of three weeks from today and respondent no.6 is directed to consider the representation of the petitioners and pass a reasoned and
