Punjabi Teachers and others ...Petitioners Versus The State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. Vivek Chauhan, AAG, Punjab for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioners have filed this writ petition seeking direction to the respondents to release the scales to which they have become entitled to on account of State Government having taken the decision to implement the judgment of the Supreme Court of India and also to implement the letter dated 30.06.1990. In this regard, reference is made to CWP No. 14685 of 1989 where reference is made to letter dated 30.06.1999. When the case came up for hearing on 05.09.2011, the State counsel was required to have instructions whether the relief claimed in the present writ petition would be covered by CWP No. 14685 of 1989 or not. The State counsel today submits that he has been instructed to state before the Court that issue in the present writ petition is covered by the decision of this court in CWP No. 3931 of 1992 titled as Baldev Raj Mittal and others versus State of Punjab Civil Writ Petition No. 11542 of 1992 -2- and others decided on 15.04.2009. Copy of the judgment has also been handed over to me in the Court. After considering the person, who was working as JBT teacher in various schools and had basic qualification of Matric at the time of recruitment and had asked for grant of revised pay scale on acquiring higher qualification, it is noticed that number of writ petitions have been allowed in this regard. This Court in the case of Baldev Raj Mittal (supra) has granted the necessary relief with the direction to the respondents to place the petitioner in the scale of ` 110-250 with effect from the date the petitioner had acquired higher qualification. The relief claimed in the writ petition, thus, is covered by this decision. The present writ petition is, accordingly, allowed in the same terms. September 08, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
