THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (S/S) No. 824 of 2010. Arjun Singh Chauhan S/O M.S.Chauhan and three others. … Petitioners. Vs. Managing Director, U.P.Rajkiya Nirman Nigam Ltd. and others. …Respondents. Mr. D.C.S.Rawat, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Ramji Srivastava, Advocate, learned counsel for the respondents. Date September 14, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Interim Relief Application No. 7704 of 2010) Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. Learned counsel for the petitioners files supplementary affidavit. The same is taken on record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to pay the equal time scale/promotional scale to the petitioners as given to the regular employees of the respondent department. The grievance of the petitioners is that though they are working against the vacant post but they have not been granted time scale/promotional scale even after 20 years of continuous service. In the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioners has urged that the ends of justice in the matter would be served if the respondents are directed to decide the representation 2 dated 10-3-2010 made by the petitioner to the Managing Director of the respondent-department by a speaking and reasoned order. Prayer is innocuous. Accordingly, the respondent no. 1 is directed to decide the representation of the petitioner dated 10-3-2010 (Annexure-2 collectively) by a speaking order, expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
