Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J.

1.This writ appeal comes up with an application seeking condonation of delay. We have heard the learned senior counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the respondents.

2.The issue raised in this writ appeal relates to the alleged anomaly in fixation of pay of the persons belonging to the supervisory cadre in the service of the appellant. The Gauhati High Court had decided the same issue as per judgment dated 21.02.2013, rendered by the Division Bench of that Court in W.A.No.151/2009. That judgment was challenged before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and the Special Leave Petition was dismissed on 30.08.2013. It is also noted by the learned

W.A.No.2045/15 single Judge that after the dismissal of that SLP, the anomaly was rectified and benefits were extended to the supervisory cadre as well. Under such circumstances, we see no ground to interfere with the impugned judgment through this writ appeal. Therefore, we also do not deem it necessary to condone delay in instituting this appeal.

In the result, the C.M. Application and the writ appeal are dismissed in limine.
