TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.15751 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 4th day of July, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner who joined the CISF as a Security Guard on 1.5.1980 became L/Naik in 1992, Naik in 1995 and Head Constable on 10.10.1997. The petitioner's grievance is that direct recruit Head Constables are at a higher pay scale than petitioner and similar others who are already Head Constables in service. Standing Counsel submitted that the anomaly, if at all, is to be rectified only based on Pay Commission recommendation. I do not find any justification to grant relief to the petitioner individually because this provision affects large number of people in service. It is not known why the pay scales given to direct recruit Head Constables are not given to Head Constables already in service. In any case since petitioner's is not a single instance of this nature and since large number of persons are involved, I dispose of the W.P. with direction to the 4th respondent to consider disparity and make correction so that petitioner and other aggrieved persons get the benefit. The 4th respondent is directed to take a decision and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of production of copy of this judgment.
