JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. R.P. Kansal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vivek Chauhan, AAG, Punjab for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioners working as Art and Craft Teacher has approached this Court for grant of Senior Selection Grade admissible to the Hindi/Punjabi teachers and also to grant the consequential benefits such as fixation of pay, arrears of pay etc. While admitting the writ petition, the same was ordered to be heard alongwith Civil Writ Petition No. 11257 of 1989. Accordingly, when this case came up on 23.09.2011, the Registry was directed to tag the record of CWP No. 11257 of 1989. This writ petition alongwith number of other writ petitions has been decided by learned Single Judge of this Court on 07.05.2009. After having made detailed reference to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Court has taken up the following view: “ In view of the totality of the circumstances and the factual and legal position noticed herein above, I am of the considered view that the impugned notification dated Civil Writ Petition No. 2568 of 1991 -2- 17.2.1989 is not sustainable in law and is liable to be quashed to the extent it has provided different pay scales for the petitioners, who are Art & Craft, PTI, MTI, Drawing Masters and Agriculture Teachers. They will be entitled to the same pay scale i.e. Rs. 1640-2925 as has been granted to the Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu teachers.” Later, review application was filed in this case on the basis of order passed in LPA, where orders passed in the writ petitions were impugned. The review application is dismissed as well on 04.01.2011. The relief claimed in the present writ petition is squarely covered by the decision in CWP No. 11257 of 1989. The present writ petition is, accordingly, allowed in the same terms. September 27, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
