Mr. Sameer Behar, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 14/01/2019

1. The petitioner in the present writ petition has been granted benefit of revised pay scale on completion of 8 years of service by virtue of order passed by this Court in the case of "Mukesh Kumar Patel Vs. State of Chhattisgarh", WPS No. 2530/2017 decided on 26.11.2017.

2. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance which now remains is that the benefit is being provided to the petitioner prospectively and though the respondents have made a calculation, which the petitioner was entitled for from the date of his completion of 8 years of service but no effective orders have been passed nor have department taken any steps for release of the arrears of payment. The petitioner prays for appropriate direction to the respondents for releasing the said amount.

-23. Without entering into the merits of the case and taking into consideration the judgment of this Court in the case of Mukesh Patel (Supra), which has also been affirmed by the Division Bench and taking note of the fact that respondents have complied with the order to the extent of granting revised pay scale to the petitioner, let respondents No. 2 & 3 take an appropriate decision at the earliest so far as release of the arrears of payment, which the petitioner is entitled for.

4. Expecting a decision from the respondents within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order the present writ petition stands disposed off. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Judge Ved
