Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order On Board 22.09.2021
1. The limited grievance which the petitioners have raised in the present writ
petition is the benefits which arise, by virtue of the order passed by this
Court in the case of Mukesh Kumar Patel & another Vs. State of
Chhattisgarh & another in WPS No. 2530/2017 decided on 28.11.2017 as
regards granting of the benefit of revised pay scale on completion of 8
years of service.
2. According to the petitioners, the grievance which now remains is that the
benefit is being provided to the petitioners prospectively and though the
respondents have made a calculation which the petitioners were entitled
from the date of their completion of 8 years of service but no effective
order has been passed nor has the department taken any step for
releasing the arrears of payment. The petitioners pray for an 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 Kumar Patel (Supra)
which has also been affirmed by the Division Bench and also taking note
of the fact that the respondents have complied with the order to the extent
of granting revised pay scale to the petitioners, let the respondents 2 & 3
take an appropriate decision at the earliest as regards releasing of the
arrears of payment which the petitioners are entitled for. Expecting a
decision from the respondents within a period of 90 days from the date of
receipt of a copy of this order, the writ petition stands disposed of.
