IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2313 of 2009 DINESHWAR PRASAD SINHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 18/2/2009 Heard Mr. K.M. Josheph, counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State as also the counsel for the Accountant General. The issue involved in this writ application pertaining to parity in the pay scale for the post of Tin Smith vis-à- vis post of Inspector and Clerks in the same unit cannot be made subject matter of judicial review under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The pay fixation or up-gradation for such job is within the domain of pay revision committee which is the expert body to take into consideration the various factor for fixation/revising of pay scales. There is no dispute that right from the year 1981 such parity being claimed by the petitioner has not been maintained, in as much as, Tin Smith has been given lower pay scale. This Court, in fact, finds that when the petitioner made his grievance the concerned authority too had expressed his 2 helplessness in the matter on the ground that such issue was capable of being looked into and decided by pay revision committee alone. In that view of the matter, the only recourse available to the petitioner is to approach the next Pay Anomaly Removal Committee or Pay Revision Committee which would be constituted for pay fixation where the petitioner may high light the question of parity of pay scale between the post of Tin Smith and/or Inspector and Clerks in the same unit. With the aforementioned observation and direction this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
