In that view of the matter, this Court would direct the concerned District Programme Officer, Jehanabad to ensure that the case of the petitioner for grant of B.A trained scale 2 from the due date (at least from the date his juniors were given such promotion) should be reconsidered within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Till such decision is taken, the the interim order passed on 24.01.2007 restraining the recovery of excess amount drawn by the petitioner on account of grant of earlier B.A trained scale shall continue and would remain dependent on the outcome of the decision to be taken now by the District Education Establishment Committee, Jehanabad. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
