Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 13/09/2021 1.

The limited grievance that the petitioner has in the present writ petition is the non-granting of the benefit of time scale pay to the petitioner on completion of 8 years and 10 years of service and also not granting up-gradation of the pay-scale, which he was entitled for having put in a particular length of service under the service regulations and circulars governing the field.

2.

According to the petitioner, he was working on the post of Assistant Teacher and who retired from the post of Circle Officer on 31.07.2011. The contention of the counsel for the petitioner is that upon completion of 8 years and 10 years of service, the petitioner would have been

-2entitled for the benefit of time scale pay in terms of circulars governing the field at that point of time, which has not been granted to the petitioner. According to the counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner has repeatedly been approaching the respondents by the representation and reminders which till date has not been considered. 3.

Given the said facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition at this juncture is disposed of directing the respondent No. 2 to immediately scrutinize the claim of the petitioner, so far as the grant of time scale pay to the petitioner, while he was in service and to take an appropriate decision after due verification of the entitlement part at the earliest preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.

4.

With the aforesaid observations, Writ Petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Judge Ved
