JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. Rajeev Anand, Advocate, for the petitioners. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) Counsel for the petitioners prays for withdrawal of the present petition qua petitioners No. 2 to 20 on the ground that these petitioners have not submitted any representation or made a claim, as has been asserted in the present writ petition with liberty to file a detailed representation qua them. Dismissed as withdrawn qua petitioners No. 2 to 20 with the aforesaid liberty. CWP No. 2206 of 2010 2 Counsel for the petitioners, with regard to Virender-petitioner No. 1, submits that petitioner No. 1 has been granted the pay, which is less than the persons junior to him, which is against the principle of law that a person, who is junior, should not be getting more pay who is similarly situated as the person who is the senior. He contends that for making such a claim, petitioner No. 1 had already moved a detailed representation dated 01.10.2009 (Annexure P-5) and no decision on the said representation has been taken till date. He further contends that the petitioner would be satisfied at this stage if a direction is issued to the respondents to consider and decide the said representation within some specified time. Without going into the merits of the case nor commenting thereon, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 2 to consider and decide the representation dated 01.10.2009 (Annexure P-5) preferred by petitioner No.1-Virender within a period of three months' from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
