Mr. Parag Kotecha, Advocate For State :

Mr. Wasim Miyan, PL Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 10/02/2021 1.

The limited grievance which the petitioners have raised in this present writ petition 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 is for grant of the benefit of revised pay scale on completion of 8 years of service.

2.

The counsel for the petitioners submits that the grievance which now remains is that the benefit is being provided to the petitioners prospectively. Though the respondents have made a calculation which the petitioners were entitled for from the date of his completion of 8 years of service but no effective orders have been passed nor have the Department taken any step for releasing the arrears of payment. The petitioners pray for appropriate direction to the respondents for releasing the said amount.

3.

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 to 4 take an appropriate decision at the earliest so far as release of the arrears of payment which the petitioner is entitled for. 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 of. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Judge Rohit
