THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE MUNGER ----------- 2. 16.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. It is not in controversy between the counsel for the 2 parties that the claim of pay scale made by the erstwhile Paid PACS Managers, absorbed into Government service after a selection procedure in terms of certain orders of the Supreme Court are matters covered by certain decision of the authorities themselves dated 21.5.2009 granting the pay scale in question as presently claimed to those similarly situated. The writ application is disposed with direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioners for the scale of Rs. 4000-6000/- in accordance with their own decision dated 21.5.2009. In the event that the respondents propose to deny the benefit to the petitioners, they shall be required to pass a reasoned and speaking order setting out the grounds of difference which distinguishes the petitioners from those covered by the order dated 21.5.2009, preferably within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
