JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO :573 of 2009 ORAL JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) The Department filed the present writ appeal being aggrieved by the order dated 17.9.2008 of the learned single judge in W.P.M.P. No.501 of 2007 & W.V.M.P. No. 3443 of 2008 in Writ Petition No.403 of 2007, whereby and whereunder the learned single Judge, dismissed the vacate stay application filed by the department. The respondents herein are the writ petitioners. They filed the aforementioned writ petition before the learned single Judge assailing the action of the departmental authorities in not implementing the scales of pay duly rectifying the anomaly existing in the pay scales of Asst. Technical Officers and Deputy Technical Officers. In that writ petition, they filed W.P.M.P. No. 501 of 2007 seeking a direction to the authorities to implement the pay scales duly rectifying the anomaly. Through order dated 15.11.2008, a learned single Judge of this Court granted the interim direction as prayed for. Subsequently, seeking vacation of the said order, the department filed vacate application, being W.V.M.P. No. 3443 of 2008, before the learned single Judge. The learned single Judge, through the order impugned in this appeal, while making the interim order earlier granted absolute, dismissed the vacate application. Hence, the department filed the present appeal. Admittedly, the impugned order is only an interim order and the learned single Judge did not pass any orders in the writ petition touching upon the merits of the matter. In the circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain the writ appeal. The writ appeal fails and it is accordingly dismissed. However, the registry is directed to post the main writ petition itself for final hearing before the learned single Judge on 21.7.2009. The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ T.MEENA KUMARI,J Date: 15th June, 2009 _________________ SANJAY KUMAR,J pnb
