Versus

State of Haryana and others ... Respondents

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMIT RAWAL

Present:

Mr. Vineet Sehgal, Advocate for the petitioners.

**** AMIT RAWAL, J. (ORAL) Petitioners are seeking indulgence of this Court for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to grant minimum of the regular pay scale in view of judgment passed by Hon'ble the Supreme Court rendered in "State of Punjab and others V/s Jagjit Singh and others" 2016 (4) SCT 641 (Annexure P-3). In this regard, had submitted representation dated 11.06.2019 (Annexure P-5), but there is no adherence thereto.

Learned counsel for petitioners submits that they will be satisfied if a direction is issued to respondent No.2-Director General, Higher Education, Haryana, to consider the representation dated 11.06.2019 (Annexure P-5), within a stipulated period.

Without going into the merits and demerits of the claim of the petitioners, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.2, to consider the

YOGESH SHARMA 2019.11.02 14:49 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP-31781-2019 representation dated 11.06.2019 (Annexure P-5) keeping in view the judgment (Annexure P-3), within a period of two months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order and shall pass a speaking order thereon after affording opportunity of hearing to petitioners, failing which, respondent No.2 shall be liable to pay costs of `25,000/- to petitioners. This condition of imposing costs is only to prevent petitioners to run from pillar to post and avail remedy of contempt in case of noncompliance of directions issued by this Court. The writ petition stands disposed of with the above direction. ( AMIT RAWAL ) JUDGE 02.11.2019 Yogesh Sharma Whether speaking/reasoned Yes/ No Whether Reportable Yes/ No
