The petitioners seek writ of mandamus for the respondents to remove the discrimination in the pay scales qua the petitioners and for implementing the judgment Annexure P-1. Prayer is for payment of arrears of the pay and allowances on the basis of new pay scale. Short reply on behalf of respondent No. 3 has been filed. The stand taken is that everything hinges on the policy instructions issued by the State of Haryana. It is stated that the respondents are disbursing the salaries/emoluments of the employees after receiving the contribution of the State to the extent of 95% as grant-in-aid. No reply on behalf of the State has been filed. However, the State counsel points out that the case of the petitioner has already been forwarded to the Finance Department and is likely to be decided very shortly. Civil Writ Petition No.10056 of 2010 -2- Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of with the direction to consider and decide the claim of the petitioners as raised in the writ petition within a period of four months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. In case, the petitioners are still left with any grievance, they would be at liberty to approach this Court again. If the Government decides to grant the scale as prayed for in the writ petition, the necessary payment would be released to them including the arrears in accordance with law.
