                                  Hon'ble Pankaj Purohit, J.

Mr. Anil Anthwal, learned counsel for the petitioners.

2. Mr. Atul Bahuguna, learned Standing Counsel along with Mr. Sachin Mohan Singh Mehta, learned Brief Holder for the State.

3. The grievance, as confessed by the petitioners, is that they were earlier members of the Indian Army and after their retirement, they joined in the Police Department as Constables.

4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that re-fixation of the salary for the earlier service rendered by the petitioners has not been taken into account and, therefore, they are at a financial loss.

5. Learned counsel for the petitioners further placed reliance upon the final order of this Court passed in WPSS No.1966 of 2018, Sanjay Singh Vs. State of Uttarakhand and others, which, according to the petitioners, was passed on the similar set of facts and was finally decided on 16.12.2021 by the Coordinate Bench of this High Court as well as the Government Order 11.02.1985 and a recent Government Order passed by the State of Uttar Pradesh on 10.05.2023.

6. In this view of the matter, the learned counsel for the State is directed to seek instructions in the matter regarding the re- fixation of the salary of the petitioners in these writ petitions and to evaluate the judgment and order referred by the learned counsel of the petitioners as to whether the judgment is similar to the cause of the petitioners or not.

7. List these cases on 22.08.2023, as fresh.
