HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH, BILASPUR WPS No. 7651 of 2019 Vikram Singh Rajput S/o Mr. Narayan Singh Rajput Aged About 41 Years By Occupation Assistant Teacher (L.B.), Government Primary School Narbada, Block Gurur, District Balod, Chhattisgarh. ---- Petitioner
Versus
1. The State Of Chhattisgarh Through Its Secretary, Panchayat And Rural Development Department, Mantralaya, Naya Raipur, District Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
2. Secretary Home Department Mantralaya, Naya Raipur, District Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
3. Chief Executive Officer Janpad Panchayat Gurur, District Balod, Chhattisgarh.
4. Commandant 7th Battalion Chhattisgarh Sauraksha Bal, Bhilai, District Durg, Chhattisgarh.
----Respondents For petitioner - Shri Parag Kotecha, Advocate. For State-Shri Avinash Singh, PL.
Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order 25/11/2019 1.
The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is the non granting of revised pay scale on completing 8 years of service. 2.
The petitioner contends that the petitioner was initially appointed as constable on 14/10/1998 with Commandant, 7th Battalion respondent No.4. Subsequently, his services were absorbed as Shiksha Karmi, Grade-III on 8/09/2008. However, the Department is not accepting the total length of service rendered by the petitioner even in the department of respondent No.4 Commandant, 7th Battalion for the purpose of granting of revised pay scale.
3.
Counsel for the parties fairly submit that the issue raised in the present writ petition stands squarely covered by a bunch of writ petitions decided by this Court on 27.10.2018, the leading case being WPS No. 6147 of 2018 (Shabnum Khatun Vs. State of Chhattisgarh and others).
4.
Given the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, the present writ petition also deserves to be and is accordingly disposed of in similar terms as in the case of Shabnum Khatun (supra). The petitioner would be entitled for the benefit as prayed for subject to verification of the case by the Department so far as the length of service and other eligibility criteria is concerned.
