Manchekar for Respondent. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND K.K. TATED JJ. DATE : 8TH DECEMBER 2009. P.C. :- 1] All these petitions are directed against the same order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, Mumbai. We have heard the learned counsel appearing for petitioners. We have perused the record, we have gone through the detailed and reasoned order passed by the MAT. It is a fact that though the petitioners before the MAT and other persons were working in same post viz. Mechanic, they were getting different scales of pay. The petitioners before the MAT, though senior, were getting lesser pay than the persons who were junior to them. The MAT therefore directed the Government to remove the anomaly. We do not find any infirmity in the order 3 passed by the MAT. It is pertinent to be noted that in the affidavit in reply filed before the MAT it was admitted that this anomalous situation was noted by the Department and recommendations were made to the Government, but the Government rejected the proposal without giving any reason therefor. Taking overall view of the matter therefore, there is no substance in these petitions. Petitions are rejected. Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited. ( JUSTICE D.K. DESHMUKH ) ( JUSTICE K.K. TATED )
