22/01/2019

¶28

The present petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed for a direction to the respondents to grant regular pay-scale to the petitioners under the contingency services immediately on completion of three years of service from the initial date of appointment.

¶29

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in employment from 1993 to 1995 and therefore they are entitled for grant of regular pay-scale after completion of three years service. He further submits that similar reliefs have already been granted to certain persons whose services were also regularized in the State Government in the year 2008. He refers to an order dated 10.03.2015 stating that the said order is in respect of identically placed persons.

¶30

At this juncture, learned State counsel submits that it would be better if the petitioners file detailed fresh representation to respondent no.6 along with all relevant documents in support of their claim including the orders of the State Government as also the orders of the High Court in other connected petitions. She further submits that in case representation is made, the respondent no.6
