Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order On Board 24.09.2021

1. The limited grievance which the petitioner has raised in the present writ petition is the benefits which arise, by virtue of the order passed by this Court in the case of Mukesh Kumar Patel & another Vs. State of Chhattisgarh & another, WPS No. 2530/2017 decided on 28.11.2017 as regards granting of the benefit of revised pay scale on completion of 8 years of service.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance which now remains is that the benefit is being provided to the petitioner prospectively and though the respondents have made a calculation which the petitioner was entitled from the date of her completion of 8 years of service but no effective order has been passed nor the department has taken any step for releasing the arrears of payment. The petitioner prays for an 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 Kumar Patel (Supra) which has also been affirmed by the Division Bench and also 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 the respondents 3 & 4 take an appropriate decision at the earliest as regards releasing 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 writ petition stands disposed of.
