PURI PRESENT: Mr. Gunjan Mehta, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana; JASBIR SINGH, J. (oral) Order. This order will dispose of three civil writ petitions, i.e., CWP No. 4986 , 5000 and 5011, all of the year 2007, as common questions of law and facts are involved in all these cases. For facility of dictating order, facts are being taken from CWP No. 4986 of 2007. It is primary grievance of the petitioners that by withdrawing higher pay scale (JST scale), earlier granted to them, their pay has wrongly been reduced. Their challenge is to the order Annexure P-5, vide which their pay has been refixed at a lower scale. Counsel for the parties heard. Counsel for the petitioner specifically states that JST scale was granted to the petitioners under order, passed by this Court, which has become final. It was further brought to our notice that similar controversy CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4986 OF 2007 -2- came up before this Court in Smt. Shakuntla Devi and another v. State of Haryana and others, CWP No. 6599 of 2007, decided on March 4, 2008, wherein in the case of those employees, to whom higher pay scale was granted under orders of this Court, order refixing their pay was set aside. Counsel for the petitioners states that same is the situation in this case. Shri Rathee has failed to show anything to the contrary. In view of facts, mentioned above, these writ petitions are disposed of in the same terms as in Shakuntla Devi's case (supra) ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge ( K. C. Puri ) April 25, 2008. Judge DKC
