Petitioner vs. State of Haryana and others .................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri Present: Sh. Dharamvir, Advocate for Sh. Raj Kumar Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner Sh. Harish Rathee, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. ... Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has laid challenge to the order dated 26.6.2007 (P-7) vide which it was ordered that higher scale (JST Grade) be withdrawn from her. Further challenge is to the order of the even date, vide which after withdrawing the higher scale earlier granted to her, her pay was refixed. Counsel for the petitioner states that the higher pay scale was granted to the petitioner as per policy decision taken by the State of Haryana, which was issued in view of ratio of the judgment dated 12.7.1995 passed by this Court in CWP No. 15267 of 1994. Counsel further states that in getting abovesaid pay scale, the petitioner has C.W.P. No. 11813 of 2007 -2- not misrepresented to the authorities and as such, at this stage benefit earlier granted to her, cannot be withdrawn. Counsel further states that similar controversy came up for consideration before this Court in Shakuntala Devi and another vs. State of Haryana and others, CWP No. 6599 of 2007, decided on 4.3.2008, wherein it was ordered that in those cases where higher grade was granted under Policy of the State of Haryana, the benefit can be withdrawn, however, recovery of the amount already paid, be not effected. Faced with the situation, Sh. Rathee has failed to show us anything to the contrary. In view of the facts mentioned above, this writ petition is disposed of in the same terms, as in Shakuntala Devi's case (Supra). ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge ( K.C. Puri ) 13.5.2008. Judge chug
