HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE G.BHAVANI PRASAD WRIT PETITION No.12064 of 2000 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Mr.Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard the learned Standing Counsel Sri M.Ratna Reddy on behalf of the petitioners. When this matter had come up earlier on 19/11/2009 and 25/11/2009, none appeared on behalf of the respondents. Even today, when the matter is called, none appeared for the respondents. Learned Standing Counsel submits that the question involved in this writ petition in regard to the pay scales is squarely covered by the judgment of the Supreme Court reported in Union of India and others v. Anil Kumar and others[1], where similar such contention was rejected and the same was confirmed by the Apex Court rejecting the claim of the respondent-employees in regard to the pay scales. Following the same, the Writ Petition is accordingly allowed and the order in O.A.No.947 of 1989 dated 27/01/2000 on the file of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, is set aside. No order as to costs. _________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J ____________________ G.BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 26-11-2009 SKM [1] (1999) 5 SCC 743
