ORDER

Heard Mr. M.H. Ahmed, learned counsel for the petitioner.
Referring to the order dated 12.02.2020 passed by this Court in WP(C) 851/2020, it is submitted that the scope of consideration of the representation of the petitioner was with regard to entitlement to a minimum scale of pay. However, by the impugned order dated 22.12.2020, the Director of Secondary Education, Assam has rejected the prayer of the petitioner for regularization, which was never made by the petitioner. Therefore, it is submitted that the said order dated 22.12.2020 is challenged only on that ground by filing this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
The learned senior counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the case of the petitioners is squarely covered by the ratio laid down in the judgment and order dated 22.01.2019 passed by this Court in WP(C) 1725/2015, read with order dated 04.04.2024, passed by the Division Bench of this Court in WA 255/2022.
Accordingly, issue notice only with regard to prayer no. II of this writ petition regarding claim of the petitioner for minimum scale of pay.
