Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. PC Arora, Advocate for the petitioner **** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner is a retired Sub Divisional Engineer who seeks a direction for refixation of pay to bring the same at par with his alleged junior, namely, respondent No.3. It is averred that while he was placed at Sr.No.544 in the seniority list, respondent No.3 was at Sr.No.712 yet the pay of the said private respondent has been fixed higher than him. (2). The record reveals that the petitioner has not impugned the communication dated 18.04.2011 (Annexure P15) informing him that respondent No.3 (the alleged junior) was working on ad hoc basis prior to the petitioner’s appointment and his reversion from ad hoc promotion having been stayed by the Court, that he continued to draw emoluments resulting into fixation of his pay higher than that of the petitioner. (3). Since the advantage gained by respondent No.3 was in terms of a Court order, no benefit can be drawn by the petitioner. (4). Dismissed.
