C.W.P. No. 2344 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 2344 of 2008 Date of decision : 16.5.2008. ... Ram Narian Madan ................ Petitioner vs. State of Haryana and others .................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri Present: Sh. Arvind Rajotia, Advocate for the petitioner Sh. Harish Rathee, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. ... Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner prays that writ of certiorari be issued to quash order dated 17.12.2007 (P-5), vide which after withdrawing the benefit of higher pay scale (JST Grade), earlier granted to the petitioner, recovery has now been ordered to be effected from him. When notice of motion was issued, following contention of counsel for the petitioner was noticed by this Court on 18.2.2008:- “Counsel for the petitioner states that JST grade was granted to the petitioner under orders passed by this C.W.P. No. 2344 of 2008 -2- Court. Counsel further submits that the petitioner acquired higher qualification after joining the service. Now higher pay scale has been ordered to be withdrawn without any justification.” We feel that controversy involved in this case is squarely covered by ratio of the Division Bench judgment of this Court in Shakuntala Devi and another vs. State of Haryana and others, CWP No. 6599 of 2007, decided on 4.3.2008. Faced with the situation, Sh. Rathee has failed to show us anything to the contrary. In view of the facts mentioned above, this writ petition is disposed of in the same terms, as in Shakuntala Devi's case (Supra). ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge ( K.C. Puri ) 16.5.2008. Judge chug
