Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order 12/10/2020 Heard.
1.
The limited grievance which the petitioners have raised in this present writ petition is that 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 wherein benefit of revised pay scale have been granted on completion of 8 years of service. 2.
Learned counsel for the petitioners 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 from the date of their 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 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 petitioners, let respondents No. 3 to 5 take an appropriate decision at the earliest so far as release of the arrears of payment which the petitioners are entitled for which shall be subject to verification of the facts. 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/- (Goutam Bhaduri) JUDGE gouri
