The orders regarding fixation of -: 2 :- pay of the applicant with effect from 6.5.1960 have been issued in October, 2000 but the applicant has not received the arrears of pay and pension." 2. On behalf of the petitioners, the learned counsel seeks to rely on the circular of government dated 10th March, 1960, fixing the pay in case of a deemed date of promotion. The petitioners themselves have understood the said circular while passing the order dated 25.10.2000. Considering that we find no case for interference with the order passed by the Tribunal, as the order of the Tribunal is to give effect to that order. If the petitioners have not complied the order, we hereby direct them to comply the same within a period of eight weeks from today. 3. In the light of that, we direct the petitioners, to pay the respondent arrears of pay allowances in pension and other consequential benefits with effect from the deemed date of his promotion i.e. 06.05.1960 within two months from the date of this order in terms of the order dated 25.10.2000.
