CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI
Present:None for the petitioner.
HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI, J. (ORAL)
Present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner claiming the re-fixation of his pay in view of the orders of this Court passed in CWP No.16084 of 1997, CWP No.2757 of 1998 and CWP No.4518 of 2000 which were upheld by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, vide order dated 08.12.2015 (Annexure P-5) being Civil Appeal No.8661 of 2009.
Petitioner claim that he is similarly situated with those who have been granted the relief by this Court but the same has not been granted to him only on the ground that he has not approached this Court and was not the petitioner in above mentioned writ petitions.
From the pleadings, it transpires that for the relief which has been claimed in the present writ petition, petitioner has submitted a representation dated 18.06.2018 (Annexure P-7) which is still pending consideration with the respondents.
