Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order On Board 08.06.2020 Heard.

1. The limited grievance which the petitioners have raised in this writ petition by virtue of order passed in WPS No. 2530/2017 (Mukesh Kumar Patel and another Vs. State of Chhattisgarh and another) decided on 26.11.2017 has been granted benefit of revised pay scale on completion of 8 years of service.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit 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 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 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 the respondents have complied with the order to the extent of granting revised pay scale to the petitioner, let respondents 2, 3 & 4 take an appropriate decision at the earliest so far as release of the arrears of payment which the petitioners are entitled for. Excepting 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/- Goutam Bhaduri Judge Jyoti
