Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order on Board

1. The limited grievance, which the petitioner has 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.2530/2017,
decided on 26.11.2017} has been granted 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 was entitled from the date of his completion of 8
years of service, but no effective order has been passed nor the
department has taken any steps for release of the arrears of payment.
The petitioner 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 petitioner, let respondents No.2 & 3 take an
appropriate decision at the earliest, so far as release of the arrears of
payment is concerned, which the petitioner is entitled for. The petitioner
is also directed to furnish the representation before the said authorities
as well. It is expected from the concerned authorities that he shall take
decision in this regard within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt
of a copy of this order and/or from the date of receiving representation of
the petitioner.
