However, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in case if the establishment charges of respondent No.1-Temple comes down to 30%, PRC-2005 Pay Scales can be implemented to the petitioners.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, and in view of the assurance given by the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1-Temple, no further orders need be passed in this writ petition.
