2. These writ petitions have been filed by the writ petitioners who were earlier employed under the Assam State Housing Board and upon attaining the age of superannuation, which is 60 years, they superannuated from their respective posts held under the Assam State Housing Board. It is the case projected by the petitioners that during the subsistence of their services under the Assam State Housing Board, the Government of Assam notified the Revision of Pay (RoP) Rules, 2017 on 17.03.2017, showing stage wise fixation of pay of its employees w.e.f. 01.04.2016. It is the claim of the petitioners that the respondent Board also adopted the RoP Rules, 2017 and necessary entries were made to that effect in the service rolls of the petitioners maintained by the Housing Board and thereby, the petitioners were qualified to receive the pay scales as indicated under the Assam Services (RoP) Rules 2017. However, these revised pay scales were never received by the petitioners from the date of its effect till the date they superannuated from service. In spite of representations filed before the Housing Board, the dues payable to the petitioners have not been released. Therefore, being aggrieved, the petitioners have approached this Court by filing the writ petitions.
