Prashar and another ....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE T.P.S. MANN Present : Mr. Rameshwar Malik, Advocate for respondent No.2/applicant. Mr. Sajjan Malik, Advocate for Mr. Vishal Malik, Advocate for the petitioners/non-applicants. Mr. Sunil Nehra, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana for respondent No.1. T.P.S. MANN, J. (ORAL) At the outset, learned counsel for respondent No.2 states that the Financial Commissioner and Principal Secretary to Government of Haryana, Irrigation Department, Haryana has informed the Managing Director, Haryana State Minor Irrigation and Tubewells Corporation Limited that the Government has agreed to the proposal of granting modified pay scales to the eligible XENs/SEs and SDOs to avoid any legal complication. Pursuant thereto, the modified pay scales have been granted C.M. No. 18120-CII of 2009 in -2- C.O.C.P. No. 357 of 2009 to all the eligible employees w.e.f. 1.5.1989. However, on account of the Managing Director being away to Maharashtrra on election duty, it would take some time before the modified pay scales become operational and payments due to the petitioners and others being made to them. In view of the fact that the modified pay scales have been granted to the petitioners w.e.f. 1.5.1989, the present application filed by the applicant for extension of time so as to comply with the directions dated 23.3.2009 is disposed of by permitting the applicant to make the necessary payments to the petitioners and other similarly situated employees by November 20, 2009.
