For State :

Shri Arvind Dubey, PL Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 01/02/2019

1. In these two writ petitions the issue involved is same therefore these two writ petitions are being heard and disposed off by this common order at motion stage with the consent of the parties.

2. The limited grievance which the petitioners have raised in these present writ petitions 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 have been granted benefit of revised pay scale on completion of 8 years of service.

3. The counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance which now remains is that the benefit is being provided to the petitioners prospectively and though the respondents have made a calculation which the petitioners were entitled for from the date of their 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. According to the petitioners they had completed their 8 years of service in the year 2013 and accordingly they were entitled for the benefit of revised pay scale immediately on completion of 8 years of service. However, this benefit has been extended to the petitioners only in the year 2018. Thus, the

present writ petition has been filed seeking for direction to respondents to consider the claim of the arrears of benefit between 2013 to 2018.

4. 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 petitioners are 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 off. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Rohit JUDGE
