THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13519 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Junior Assistant-cum-Typist on 25.08.1990 by the 1st respondent-society and he is posted in the 3rd respondent-institution on temporary basis. However, the petitioner and other similarly situated persons were extended the benefit of pay scales of 1993 and subsequent revisions. His grievance is that the respondents have not extended the increments in terms of G.O.Ms.No.38, dated 22.03.2001. He seeks appropriate directions to the respondents. On behalf of the respondents, a counter affidavit is filed. It is admitted that teachers, who were appointed on ad hoc basis, were also extended the benefit of pay scales on being regularized and that increments were also being awarded. It is however stated that the benefit was extended to the teachers, in view of the orders passed by this Court in some cases and orders passed by the Government in other cases. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. It is not in dispute that the petitioners were extended the benefit of pay scales from the year 1993 onwards. Once an employee is put in a pay scale, the periodical increments must follow as a matter of course. On being brought under the purview of the pay scale, the distinction for an employee as to the method of appointment ceases to exist. Further, the respondents do not deny that even the teachers, who were appointed on ad hoc basis, were extended the pay scales and periodical increments. The petitioner stands on a higher footing. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed, as prayed for. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 07.09.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13519 of 2011 Date: 07.09.2011 JSU
