Rajasthan & Ors.). The operative part of the said order is
reproduced as under:-
"41.Hence, looking to the binding effect of
above judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in the
case of C.P.Mundinamani(supra) and All India

petitioners would be entitled to get the
benefits of increment falling due on 1st July on
account of their conduct for the requisite
length of time i.e. one year. The petitioners
would be entitled to get notional payment on
1st July, notwithstanding their superannuation
on 30th June.
42. The respondents are directed to
consider the case of the petitioners afresh in
the light of the observations made
hereinabove and thereafter grant notional
increment to the petitioners. The
petitioners' pension would consequently be
refixed. The appropriate orders be issued and
the arrears of pension be paid to the
petitioners within a period of three months
from the date of receipt of certified copy of this
order.
43. With the aforesaid directions, all these
petitions stand disposed of.
44. Stay applications and all applications
(pending, if any) also stand disposed of"
2. Learned counsel, therefore, prays that the petitioners may be
permitted to file a detailed representation before the
competent authorities for redressal of his grievances.
3. In view of the above, the present writ petition is disposed
with liberty to the petitioner to file a representation to the
competent authorities of the department and the competent
authorities of the department are directed to decide the same
within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of such
representation; and if the case of the petitioner falls within
the purview of the law laid down by this Court in the case of
[2024:RJ-JD:44004] (3 of 3) [CW-18028/2024]
Vijay Singh (supra); the same shall be decided in terms of
the judgment above.
4. The order has been passed based on the submissions made in
the petition, the respondents would be free to examine the
veracity of the submissions made in the petition and only in
case the averments made therein are found to be correct, the
petitioner would be entitled to the relief sought.
5. Stay application also stands disposed of, accordingly.
