Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.P.GANGAIAH NAIDU Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.VIJAYA BHASKAR MOOLA The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.12935 OF 1999 ORDER : Heard both sides. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not regularizing the services of the petitioners in their respective posts as per G.O.Ms.No.98, Education dated 8.4.1993 as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioners also sought a direction to pay the revised pay scales with effect from their respective appointments. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice that during the pendency of this writ petition, the services of all the petitioners herein have been regularized. Hence nothing survives for consideration so far as that part of the prayer is concerned. However, it is stated that the petitioners were granted the revised pay scales with effect from the date of G.O.Ms.No.98, dated 8.4.1993 though similarly situated persons were granted the revised pay scales with effect from the date of their initial appointments. Having regard to the subsequent events, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioners for revised pay scales with effect from their respective date of appointments and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ G. ROHINI, J. MARCH 25, 2009 Tsr
