THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY
WRIT APPEAL No.604 of 2019
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma)
The present writ appeal is arising out of the interim order
passed by the learned Single Judge in I.A.No.1 of 2017 in
W.P.No.35664 of 2017 dated 17.12.2018.
The facts of the case reveal that the writ petitioners
(respondents No.1 to 6 before this court), working as daily wagers
on the post of Borewell Mechanic, came up before this court for grant of pay scale on par with regular employees and the learned Single Judge has passed the impugned interim order granting minimum of the pay scale, keeping in view the judgment delivered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of Punjab and others vs. Jagjit Singh1.
Sri Prabhakar Chikkudu, learned counsel appearing for the respondents No.1 to 6/writ petitioners, has informed this Court that later on an application for vacating the interim order was also filed and the same has been dismissed. However, the main writ petition is still pending before the learned Single Judge.
This Court has carefully gone through the interim order passed by the learned Single Judge and as it is only an interim order, which has been made absolute later, the present writ appeal stands disposed of with a liberty to the parties to argue all grounds before the learned Single Judge. The learned Single Judge is also 1 (2017) 1 SCC 148 2 requested to decide the writ petition, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six months from today.
Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
