1. The limited grievance which the petitioners have raised in the present writ
petition by virtue of the order passed by this Court in the case of Mukesh
Kumar Patel Vs. State of Chhattisgarh, WPS No. 2530/2017decided on
26.11.2017 is for grant of the benefit of revised pay scale on completion of
8 years of service.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the grievance which now
remains is that the benefit is being provided to the petitioners
prospectively. Though the respondents have made a calculation which the
petitioner was entitled for from the date of their completion of 8years of
service but no effective orders have been passed nor have the department
taken any step for releasing of the arrears of payment. The petitioners
pray 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 Mukesh Patel(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 petitioners, let respondents take an appropriate decision
at the earliest so far as release of the arrears of payment which the
petitioners are entitled for, subject to verification of their entitlement for the
same. Expecting a decision from the respondents within a period of 90
days from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
4. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of.
