(ORAL) The present writ petition has been filed for seeking direction to the respondents to grant and fixation of pay scale Rs.1200-2040 w.e.f. 01.05.1990. However, learned counsel for the petitioner has very fairly stated that the petitioner restricts his prayer for the grant of said scale with effect from the date of regularization i.e. 01.12.1993. It is not disputed that the petitioner in pursuance to the letter dated 11.11.1993 was regularized on the post of Pump Operator/Driver at the pay scale of Rs.950-1500 w.e.f 01.12.1993. The petitioner was also allowed to cross the Efficiency Bar. He also had the prescribed qualification C.W.P. No.22614 of 2010 2 for Pump Operator/Driver. The respondent-State also notified the revision of pay scales w.e.f 01.01.1996 vide notification letter dated 07.01.1998. Written statement on behalf of respondent No.3 has been filed. However, no valid reason is forthcoming for not granting the petitioner the regular pay scale from the date, he was regularized. Learned counsel for respondent No.3 also does not dispute that the petitioner is entitled to the regular pay scale from the date, he was regularized i.e. Rs.1200-2040. In view of the above, the present petition is allowed with a direction to the respondents to grant regular pay scale to the petitioner with effect from the date of regularization i.e. 01.12.1993 along with all consequential benefits.
