Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 14/12/2018 1.

The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is the non granting of the advantage of higher pay scale which the petitioner is entitled for on their completion of 8 years of service.

2.

Denial on the part of the respondents was on the ground that the petitioner does not have 8 years service under the same employer. It is a case where the petitioner was initially appointed at Govt. Primary School, Padaniya. Subsequently after obtaining NOC she has got a fresh appointment with the Government High School, Sitamani, Block Korba. 3.

The claim of the petitioner is that if the services rendered by her in Padaniya is also counted for the purpose of grant of higher pay scale, they would be entitled for the benefit.

4.

The issue raised by the petitioner in the instant case is squarely covered by a bunch of writ petitions decided by this Court on 27.10.2018 in WPS No.6147 of 2018 in the case of Shabnum Khatun Vs. State of Chhattisgarh & Ors. and other analogous petitions. 5.

This aspect so far as the factual matrix of the case is concerned is not disputed by the State counsel on verifying the contents of the writ petition. 6.

Given the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the opinion that nothing remains to be adjudicated in the present writ petition as the issue has already been decided by this Court in the aforesaid judgment in the case of Shabnum Khatun(supra). The present writ petition also stands allowed and disposed of in similar terms. The petitioner would be entitled for the benefit as prayed for subject to verification of all other eligibility criteria for grant of higher pay scale. 7.

The writ petition accordingly stands allowed and disposed of. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Sumit JUDGE
