Counsel for the State has received written instructions and has assisted the Court from the same. In the nature of the order to be passed, the Court does not consider it necessary to adjourn the matter for a formal counter affidavit. Counsel for the petitioners submits that he does not press the relief for difference of salary for the period 1.6.2002 to 30.11.2006. The writ petition is therefore dismissed as not pressed to that extent. Learned Counsel for the State has agreed from the written instruction that the claim of the petitioners for continuity in employment and that they were therefore entitled to be treated under the old pension scheme with GPF deductions and not in the new contributory pension scheme is covered by the judgment of this Court in CWJC no. 6183 of 2008 and analogous cases stated to have been affirmed in the LPA and by the Supreme Court also. The respondents are therefore naturally required to act in accordance therewith on that claim of the petitioners. Let it be so done within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order, if not already complied. The writ application stands disposed.
