The petitioners have filed the present petitions claiming the benefit under the memorandum dated 7/8/1974 issued by respondent no. 1. 2. It is the case of the petitioners that the similarly circumstanced Assistant Teachers have already been given benefit by the State Govt. vide Memorandum dated 7/8/1974. Vide the aforesaid memorandum, the benefit of the revised pay scale was given in favour of Mr. M.A.Rashid. The petition covering of identical facts came up before the Division Bench of this Court, being Writ Petition No. 415-A of 1982. This Court found that the case of the petitioners in the said Writ Petition was identical with the case of said Mr. M.A.Rashid. The Division Bench held that the petitioners in Writ Petition No. 415-A of 1982 are also entitled to the benefits arising out of Memorandum dated 7/8/1974. 4 3. It is not in dispute that the case of the present petitioners is similar with the case of the petitioners in Writ Petition No. 415-A of 1982 and so also with that of Mr. M.A. Rashid. In that view of the matter, there is no reason to deny the present petitioners the benefit which was granted to Mr. M.A. Rashid. Rule is thus made absolute in terms of prayer clause ‘ C ’. It is further directed that the arrears, if any, payable to the present petitioners shall be paid within the period of six months from today.
