LPA No.504 of 2009 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. LPA No.504 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 11.01.2010 State of Punjab and others ....Appellants. Versus Harnek Singh and others ....Respondents. Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel Hon'ble Mr. Justice Alok Singh Present: Ms. Rita Kohli, Addl. A.G., Punjab for the appellants. ... Adarsh Kumar Goel, J. (Oral). 1. This appeal has been preferred against the order of the learned Single Judge directing grant of pay scale of Rs.700-1300 to the respondents – writ petitioners w.e.f. 1.1.1978. 2. Case of the respondents is that they were working as Senior Instructors which post is at par with Lecturer in the Education Department. On the recommendations of the second pay commission, pay scales were revised but the respondents continued to be in unrevised pay scales. Writ petition was filed pointing out anomaly which led the State to issue notification dated 13.5.1991. Thereafter, writ petition pending in this Court was decided on 28.11.1995 and writ petitioners were given revised pay scales w.e.f. 1.1.1986. However, dispute remained for the period from LPA No.504 of 2009 2 1.1.1978 which was put in issue by way of writ petition. Only ground for defending the writ petition was that Lecturers in Education Department were in different cadre of service. This distinction was found to be without any valid basis. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the appellants. 4. The finding recorded by learned Single Judge that Senior Instructors and Junior Lecturers in the Education Department are at par for all purposes is not shown to be erroneous in any manner. 5. This being the position, we do not find any error in the impugned order. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. ( Adarsh Kumar Goel ) Judge ( Alok Singh ) Judge 11.01.2010 sk.
