State of Chhattisgarh, WPS No. 2530/2017 decided on 26.11.2017, the petitioner has been granted benefit of revised pay scale on completion of 8 years of service.

which the petitioner is entitled from the date of his completion of 8 years of service but no effective orders have been passed nor the department has taken any steps for release of the arrears of payment. The petitioner prays for appropriate direction to the respondents for releasing the said amount.
