Mr. Alkesh Agarwal, Deputy Government Counsel, for the respondents. In this writ petition, the petitioner has sought direction against the respondents for grant of regular pay scale (Rs.3200- 4900) admissible to the post of Gram Sewak cum Group Secretary from the date of his initial appointment with all consequential benefits. Briefly stated, the facts of the case are that respondent Zila Parishad, Chittorgarh issued an advertisement inviting applications from eligible candidates for appointment to the post of Gram Sewak cum Group Secretary in the pay scale of Rs.3200-4900. The petitioner applied for the post and being found suitable, was accorded appointment vide order dated 5.11.99 on probation for a period of two years. However, instead of granting regular pay scale, he was appointed as aforesaid on consolidated salary Rs.1200/-per month. On satisfactory completion of probation period, the petitioner was confirmed on the post of Gram Sewak cum Group Secretary w.e.f 01.06.02 ( 2 ) and was granted fixation in the regular pay scale admissible to the said post i.e. Rs.3200-85-4900. Precisely, grievance of the petitioner is that he was entitled to be fixed in the regular pay scale w.e.f date of his initial appointment and not from date of confirmation i.e. 01.06.02. It is pointed out by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner that the controversy involved in this writ petition is covered by decision of this Court in Prashant Vohra & Anr. Vs. State & Ors (D.B. Civil Special Appeal (Writ) No.119/2004), decided on 16.07.04 and other orders made in similar writ petitions. Learned Deputy Government Counsel Mr. Alkesh Agarwal has pointed out that in view of the decision of this Court in the matter of Prashant Vohra (supra), the Government has issued an order dated 07.09.07, granting regular pay scale to all remaining Gram Sewak cum Group Secretary from the date of initial appointment upto 01.06.02 or the date of confirmation, whichever is later in the regular pay scale of Rs.3200-4900, on notional basis and actual benefits subsequent thereto. Thus, it is common ground between the parties that the order dated 07.09.07 is made applicable in relation to Gram Sewak cum Group Secretary appointed after passing of the examination in the year 1999 and it is also not in dispute that the present petitioner answers to the description of the ( 3 ) employees contemplated by the order aforesaid. Accordingly, the writ petition succeeds and it is hereby allowed. The respondents are directed to extend the benefits of notional fixation to the petitioner in the pay scale of Rs.3200-85- 4900 from the date of his initial appointment till 01.06.02 and actual benefits subsequent thereto.
