IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP Nos. 1333 of 2011 Date of Decision : 21.3.2011 Madan Lal …. petitioner Versus State of H.P.& ors. ….. respondents Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. A. K. Gupta, Advocate For the respondents : Mr. R. K. Bawa, A.G. with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. A.G & Mr. J. K. Verma, Dy. A.G. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) Challenge is on Annexure P-1. It is a memorandum issued on 11.12.2009. It is a show cause notice requiring the petitioner to show cause why his pay should not be down graded to that of Technician (Grade-II) in the pay scale of Rs.4020-6200 w.e.f. 1.1.2006, consequent on the revision of seniority. The petitioner submits that he had already appeared before the authority and has explained the position. The petitioner apprehends that even the arrears which have accrued in the event of the pay being re-fixed would be recovered. These are all matters for the petitioner to point out before the authority. Ordinarily, when the pay is re-fixed, the benefits already paid are not to be recovered, since the re-fixation is on account of revision of seniority or on other grounds. There is no case for the respondents that there is any inducement for such a wrong fixation. These aspects will also be considered by the authority concerned while taking the decision in the matter. 2. With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. March 21, 2011 (Justice Sanjay Karol), (rana/pankaj) Judge.
