After his retirement, the respondent-Nigam revised the pay scales of its employees under Revision of Pay Scales Rules, 2008 applicable w.e.f. 01.01.2006. The petitioner's pay has been revised under Rule, 2008. But while fixing the pay of the petitioner under the revision of pay scales, he was not allowed 2nd and 3rd ACP pay scale admissible to him under the rules. Accordingly, he is being paid less pension every month. It is further contended that as per the information provided to him through the R.T.I. (Annexure P-7), the case of C.W.P.

Thereafter, he also sent a legal notice dated 27.06.2011 (Annexure P-8). However, no action has been taken on the same. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to decide the representation dated 03.01.2011 (Annexure P-4), as well as, the legal notice dated 27.06.2011 (Annexure P-8) as expeditiously as possible preferably within two months from the receipt of a copy of this order.
