For the State : G.P.4. ----------- 02. 18.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State who has not filed any counter affidavit disputing the contents of the writ petition, although the writ petition has remained pending for over four years. 2. Petitioners are serving on the post of Helper in the scale of Rs.825-1200/- in the regular establishment of the Irrigation Research and Training Institute, Khagaul, Patna. They have filed this writ petition asserting that the other Helpers serving the same institute in the work charge establishment have been granted the revised scale of Rs.2650-4000/- in 2 terms of the resolution of the Finance Department dated 7.8.1999, Annexure-1 to this application. Petitioners, although, serving the same institute on the post of Helper in the regular establishment have not yet been allowed the benefit of revised scale pursuant to 5th Pay Revision Recommendation. 3. Having heard counsel for the parties, this writ petition is disposed of directing the State respondents to consider the request of the petitioners for grant of revised scale of Rs.2650-4000/- which is being allowed to the Helpers serving in the work charge establishment, as early as possible, in any case within three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
