Today a supplementary counter affidavit has been filed and in which it has been stated that the petitioner has been paid the difference of benefits of the A.C.P. which has been sanctioned vide letter no. 606 dated 12.10.2006.

Although the other grievance of the petitioner has been set out in the supplementary counter affidavit but learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no statement as regarding the benefits arising to the petitioner on account of revision of pay- scale and benefits arising therefrom with effect from 1.4.1997. Admittedly the counter affidavit is silent on the said issue. Having regard to the statement made in the counter affidavit and the submissions of learned counsel, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no. 5 to ensure the payment of the remaining dues of the petitioner including the arrears arising from A.C.P. within a period of six weeks from today. The respondent no. 5, within the same period would also process the revision of the pay-scale of the petitioner under the pay revision with effect from 1.4.1997 and the consequential benefits arising therefrom and make payments of the same, if not already paid. The writ petition stands disposed of. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
