In pursuance of the said award, the 3rd respondent reinstated the petitioner into service on 14.12.2001. He is working under the control of the 3rd respondent since then. He used to be paid Rs.63/- per day before removal from service, and the 3rd respondent after reinstatement also, resorted to pay Rs.63/- per day. As the wages are revised from time to time by fixing at Rs.79/- from October, 1997 and Rs.114/- with effect from 01.08.2002, he is entitled for the enhanced wages. He further contends that similarly placed employees, who approached this Court along with him through W.P.No.16948 of 1989 and batch, were regularized through the proceedings dated 14.07.1997, and they are being given the scale of pay, provided for the jobs, they are holding.
