(ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance which is being raised by the petitioners is that though he was appointed as a Patwari as well as Kanungo prior to respondents No.4 to 7, but still he was being paid less salary, which according to him, is arbitrary and illegal. Counsel for the petitioner states that even when the petitioner was in service, he made several representations to the respondents to step up his pay equivalent to his juniors, but nothing was done by the respondents in this regard.

In support of said argument, petitioner has attached representations (Annexures P-1 to P-4) to show that he had filed the claim for removal of the anomaly of being paid less salary than his juniors Counsel for the petitioner further states that petitioner has served the respondents with a legal notice on 10.01.2019 (Annexure P-5) NARESH KUMAR 2019.05.01 13:57 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh
