THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMA MOHANA RAO W.A.No.976 of 2010 JUDGMENT (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) The appellant was appointed as Attender on compassionate grounds in the time scale of Rs.3850-8600/- vide proceedings dated 01.01.2008 in the temple of the first respondent. While so, the second respondent issued proceedings dated 20.04.2009 directing the Executive Officer to issue Show Cause Notice as to why the scale of pay of the appellant should not be withdrawn. Pursuant thereto, the first respondent issued proceedings dated 23.07.2009 cancelling the pay scale sanctioned to the post of Attender by directing the appellant to work on consolidated pay of Rs.1,050/-per month. Challenging the said proceedings, the appellant filed W.P.No.6196 of 2010 along with W.P.M.P.No.7966 of 2010, whereby the learned single Judge by order dated 18.03.2010 granted interim suspension of the said proceedings. Seeking to vacate the said interim order, the respondents filed W.V.M.P.No.1590 of 2010, whereby the learned single Judge modified the interim order to the effect that the appellant shall be entitled to be paid salary as NMR but not pay scale. Hence, he filed the present appeal. 2. Heard both sides. 3. In view of the fact that the father of the appellant worked as NMR on consolidated pay without any pay scale, the appellant, who was appointed as Attender on compassionate grounds, is also entitled to be paid salary as NMR. Initially, the appellant was granted pay scale. As it would cause discrimination to the other NMRs, who were appointed on consolidated pay, the learned single Judge has rightly modified the interim order. Therefore, we find no error in the order impugned warranting interference by this Court. 4. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. However, in the circumstances of the case, the writ petition shall be disposed of expeditiously. Any recovery may be made in easy monthly instalments without interest. No order as to costs. ______________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _________________________ NOOTY RAMA MOHANA RAO, J Date:25.11.2011 sj
