WP(C) 4926/2006 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Heard Md. A Hai, learned, learned counsel for the petitioners and as wel l as Ms. R. Chakraborty, learned State counsel. The petitioners, who were appointed as Guardsman and are still continuin g as such, have filed this Writ Petition claiming the benefit of revised pay sca le. While the petitioner No.1 was appointed as Guardsman on 07.01.1981 in the ti me scale of pay of Rs.205-325/-, the other three petitioners were appointed in 1 986, 1988 and 1989 as Guardsman in the pay scale of Rs.370-490/-. According to t he petitioners, since the post of Guardsman is equal in rank and status to that of CTI, Home Guards, they are entitled to the revised scale of pay of Rs.410-670 /- as per ROP Rules of 1983 and subsequent corresponding revised pay scales. It has been contended that some similarly situated persons were also den ied the revised pay scale on the basis of the impugned order dated 14.11.1984 (A nnexure-8), had approached this Court and this Court granted them the relief by way of providing revised pay scales. In this connection, the petitioners have an nexed the copy of the judgment and order dated 13.02.2003 passed in W.P(C) No.58 36/1999 (Debendra Kumar Nath Vs. State of Assam and Others). Following the said decision, this Court disposed of yet another writ petition being W.P(C) No.9304 /2004 by order dated 21.12.2005. According to the petitioners, their case is covered by the aforesaid two orders of this Court. Agitating their grievances they filed Annexure-9 represen tation dated 28.03.2001 to the Director General of Civil Defence and Commandant General of Home Guards, Assam. The said representation having not been disposed of and the petitioners having not been granted the revised pay scales they have approached this Court by filing the instant writ petition. The respondents have filed their affidavit denying the claim of the peti tioners. According to them the petitioners are not entitled to the revised scale of Rs.410-670/-. It has been contended that the petitioners have been provided with the revised pay scale of Rs.370-490/-.However the affidavit has not dealt w ith the aforementioned two orders of this Court. In view of the above, I am of the considered opinion that it would be ap propriate for the respondent No.2 to take on record the aforesaid Annexure-9 rep resentation dated 28.03.2007 and then to dispose of the same taking into account all relevant aspects of the matter. If need be, the petitioners should be given personal hearing. The representation shall be disposed of as expeditiously as p ossible, preferably within 30.06.2008. Whatever may be the outcome of the consid eration of the case of the petitioners, they shall be communicated with the deci sion arrived at. With the above direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.
