¶14

The prayer made in the present petition is for directing the respondents to implement in favour of the petitioners the grades of 2019 as revised and implement and to quash the action of withdrawing the same.

¶15

Learned counsel would submit that the petitioners are working in category 1 on the unaided posts of Sewadar, Chowidar, Conductor in Khalsa Senior Secondary School Bir Baba Budha Saheb Ji managed by respondent No.1-SGPC, since 2010 and were initially granted revised grades of 2011 and even thereafter in 2019, the same were granted for 5 months, however, which without any justification, came to be withdrawn despite, they being entitled. In this regard, a legal notice dated 11.03.2024, Annexure P-6, has been served upon the respondents, which has yet not evoked any response. She thus, at this stage, on instructions, submits that the petitioners are sanguine of it being considered in a positive manner, in case, a direction is given to the respondents to decide the same in a time bound manner by granting them an opportunity of hearing.
