The petitioner is stated to have superannuated on 30.4.2010 from the post of Peon in the Home (Jail) Department. It has been submitted that he has been given lst time bound promotion with effect from 1.4.1981 in the pay scale of Rs. 375- 480, contrary to the correct scale depriving him of the revised correct pay scale which today shall be Rs. 4500-7000. The petitioner while in service had represented on 6.9.2000 to the Director and which has been forwarded to the Principal Probation Officer by letter no. 131 dated 6.9.2000 but no decision was taken. Counsel for the State submits that the matters of pay scale are for the authorities to decide and the matter may be referred for proper consideration. No other ground from the writ petition has been pressed. If the petitioner files a representation and satisfies the authorities of the correctness of his representation dated 6.9.2000 forwarded by letter no. 131 dated 6.9.2000 for consideration, and if he is held entitled to revision of his pay scale consequent to the time bound promotion it shall be effective from the date of such erroneous grant and the petitioner shall be entitled to all consequential benefits retrospectively along with revision of his pension. But if the petitioner is unable to satisfy the authorities of the actual submission of a representation by him in the year 2000 then in that event if the authorities are satisfied of his entitlement of revision of pay scale consequent to grant of time bound promotion he shall not be entitled to arrears but there shall be revision in the actual pension only accordingly. If the authorities propose to reject the claim of the petitioner, they are required to pass a reasoned and speaking order. Liberty is given to supplement the representation if so advised. Let such consideration be done and appropriate orders be passed within maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order, unless already considered and duly communicated in accordance with law to the petitioner. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
