AJAY TEWARI, J.(Oral) The decision of this writ petition will also decide CWP No.14233 of 2008. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner for the claim of 1st & 2nd ACP scale which was granted to him after counting his service in various Municipalities but was later sought to be withdrawn by re-fixing the salary after deducting the benefit of service performed by him in various Municipalities. Learned counsel for respondents is not in a position to deny that the same question was decided by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal Nos.4446, 4447 & 4448 of 2008 on 15.07.2008 which was subsequently followed by Division Bench of this Court CWP No.14033 of 2008 -2- in CWP No.15715 of 2008 decided on 27.11.2008. This writ petition is accordingly allowed and the respondents are directed to count the period of service of the petitioner during their earlier appointment for the purpose of fixation of pay and grant of 1st & 2nd ACP scale.
