The prayer in the writ petition is to grant difference of salary of work charge to daily wage for the period from 01.06.2002 to 13.07.2006 as has been paid to many employees of the Division who were regularized alongwith the petitioner as well as for making deductions from the salary of the petitioner of G.P.F. instead of C.P.F. Learned counsel for the petitioner draws the attention of this Court to various orders passed by this Court either in the writ petition or in the Letters Patent Appeal arising therefrom by which the issue of treating the services of such petitioners from the Patna High Court CWJC No.16961 of 2011 (2) dt.27-09-2011 2 date prior to 01.09.2005, which is cut off date entitling them only to the C.P.F. scheme and not the G.P.F. scheme which was effective prior to that date, has been upheld. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that by order dated 25.02.2010 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 17637 of 2009 a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court has disposed off the writ petition with certain directions for consideration of the claims of the petitioner of that writ petition which is similar to the prayer made in the present writ application. Learned counsel for the respondents does not dispute the fact that the order dated 25.02.2010 has been passed with regard to similarly situated persons under similar circumstances for claiming similar relief. In that view of the matter, this Court is also inclined to dispose off the present writ application in the same terms as the order passed in C.W.J.C. No. 17637 of 2009, dated 25.02.2010. Let the respondents take similar action in the present case while they have taken as per the directions in the aforesaid C.W.J.C. No. 17637 of 2009. The writ application accordingly stands disposed off. Bhardwaj/- (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J)
