(Oral) The petitioners who are retired Teachers/Masters/Mistresses from the Education Department, Government of Punjab, seek the higher pay scale in terms of the Government Instructions dated 23.7.1957 and 3.7.1995, according to the qualifications possessed by them. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the parties are ad-idem that the controversy involved in this case stands settled by a decision of this Court dated 15.4.2009, rendered in a bunch of writ petitions including CWP No.3931 of 1992 (Baldev Raj Mittal and others versus State of Punjab and others). CWP No.21762 of 2010 [2] The writ petition is accordingly disposed of in terms of the afore-stated decision of this Court in Baldev Raj Mittal and others' case (supra). Since the petitioners have approached this Court at a belated stage, it is directed that no arrears of pay shall be paid to them in the event of acceptance of their claim. Dasti.
