virtue of the order passed by this Court in the case of "Shabnum Khatun v.

State of Chhattisgarh & Others" WPS No.6147/2018 decided on

27.10.2018 is for grant of the benefit of revised pay scale on completion of

8 years of service.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance which now

remains is that the benefit is being provided to the petitioner prospectively

and though the respondents have made a calculation which the petitioner

is entitled from the date of her completion of8years of service but no

effective orders have been passed nor have department has taken any

steps for release of the arrears of payment. The petitioner prays for

appropriate direction to the respondents for releasing the said amount.

3. Without entering into the merits of the case and taking into consideration

the judgment of this Court in the case of "Shabnum Khatun" (Supra) which

has also been affirmed by the Division Bench and taking note of the fact

that respondents have complied with the order to the extent of granting

revised pay scale to the petitioner, let respondents take an appropriate

decision at the earliest so far as release of the arrears of payment which

the petitioner is entitled for. Expecting a decision from the respondents

within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order, the

present writ petition stands disposed of.
