The admitted case of the petitioners is that they were engaged on various Group - D posts on daily wage basis between the years 1987 to 1994. They were drawing a fixed salary of Rs.575/-. Their services were regularized on 01.02.1996 and 01.10.2003, respectively, as is apparent from their service particulars, appended with the writ petition as Annexure P-1. Once the petitioners have been regularized, they start drawing salary of a regular incumbent. Therefore, the claim of the petitioners is misconceived. In this view of the matter, as the petitioners are already drawing the regular pay scale, no direction can be issued to the respondents.

Petition is dismissed.
