CWP 14037/2008 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH SB Civil Writ Petition No. 14037/2008 Smt. Kusumlata Jain & ors. Vs. The State of Rajasthan & anr. DATE OF ORDER : 03/03/2010 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Mr. Prahlad Singh, for petitioners Mr. Yashwant Kankhedia, Dy. G.C ., for respondents.. With the consent of counsel for the parties, the matter is finally disposed of at this stage. Counsel for petitioners submits that the present writ petitioners were initially appointed as Gram Sevika in the regular pay- scale of 950-1680 and later on absorbed on the post of Supervisor (Female) in their own pay- scale vide order dated 11/04/2000 (Anx.5). However, despite completing more than 9 years of service, the benefit of selection grade in terms of Finance Department Circular dt. 25/01/1992 has not been granted to them so far in-spite of legal notice for demand of justice being served. Counsel further submits that one Smt. Sharad Bala, who is similarly situated working as Gram Sevika, has been granted the benefit of selection grade on completion of 9 years of service vide order dated 22/07/2003 CWP 14037/2008 [2] and one writ petition filed by Smt. Kanchan Devi (CWP-2266/2007) before the main seat at Jodhpur has also been decided on 03/12/2008 directing the respondents to pay first selection grade of 5000-8000 on completion of 9 years of service in terms of Circular dt. 25/01/1992. Counsel further submits that the present petitioners are similarly situated and are entitled for the same relief which has been granted by the Court vide judgment of which reference has been made supra. This fact could not have been controverted by counsel for respondents. However further submits that the petitioners are not entitled for selection grave as they have been later on absorbed on the post of Supervisor (Female). This fact has not been disputed that the petitioners have been absorbed on the post of Supervisor but still they are being paid salary of Gram Sevika and the benefit of selection grade on completion of 9 years of service in terms of Government Circular dt. 25/01/1992 has not been granted to them. Counsel further submits that despite the petitioners are continuously working on the post of Female Supervisor, the benefit of the post held by them has not been granted by the CWP 14037/2008 [3] Government so far. Taking note thereof, in the opinion of this Court, once the petitioners are similarly situated, they too are entitled to the benefit of Circular dated 25/01/1992. Consequently, in the light of the judgment of this Court dt. 03/12/2008, referred to supra, the present writ petition stands allowed and the respondents are directed to grant selection grade to the petitioners in terms of Government Circular dated 25/01/1992 on completion of 9 years of service keeping parity with Smt. Renu Mathur and Mrs. Sharad Bala to whom benefit has been granted by the Government. and as regards other emoluments of the post of Supervisor held by them if representation is made, the authority concerned may consider the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law. The respondents shall ensure compliance within three months. No costs. [AJAY RASTOGI], J. Raghu/14037-CW-2008-final.doc
