The petitioner-State is aggrieved by the order passed by the Administrative Tribunal allowing the Original Application filed by the respondent. The issue in the present case is whether the respondents were entitled to the benefits of Government Resolution dated 29.9.2003, whereby persons who had acquired skill and experience of working three years on a higher post were entitled to be paid higher salary of the higher post by relaxing the educational qualification required for that post. (2) WP 5748.2010 According to the petitioner, the benefits of the scheme can be availed of only by those who had completed three years prior to the cut off date i.e. 31.12.1997. 2. We have perused the judgement and order passed by the Administrative Tribunal and in our opinion, a possible view has been taken by the Tribunal. The scheme has been made applicable to all such persons who were in employment prior to the cut- off date irrespective of whether they had completed three years before the cut-off date. In our opinion, the Tribunal has not committed any error while passing the impugned order. 3. A similar Writ Petition was filed in this Court being Writ Petition no. 10069 of 2010 where the same issue was challenged before this Court. That Petition has been dismissed on 25.10.2010. Petition rejected. Sd/- Sd/- [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.] arp/
