Mr. Sunil Nehra, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the State. Mr. R.N. Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.4. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner seeks direction for stepping up his pay with his juniors, who according to him, are drawing more pay than him. Notice of motion was issued. Reply is filed. The stand taken by the respondents is that respondent No.5 is not junior to the petitioner and in this regard justification has been so provided in the reply. It is also pointed out in the reply that for the purpose of grant of stepping up/ACP, comparison of the employees is to be made on the basis of seniority maintained at depot level instead of seniority of the employee working in other depot. In this regard, justification is given on the basis of instructions issued. Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to clarify as to whether the petitioner can seek comparison with those Civil Writ Petition No.10512 of 2010 -2- who are not posted with him or that he is senior to respondent No.5. Counsel for the petitioner says that the petitioner has already filed representation and the same has not been decided. I do not see any reason to interfere in the writ petition. The petitioner, if so advised, may pursue his representation by showing that he is entitled to any stepping up by comparing his pay with any junior, who is or may be getting more pay than him. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. August 04, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH) monika JUDGE
