Shrimali. Learned Government Counsel Mr. Shyam Ladrecha does not dispute the issue which was decided in the case of R.C. Shrimali.

Necessary exercise as directed above is to be undertaken and the respondents are directed to award higher pay scale to the petitioner on completion of 18 years of service which should not be otherwise the same pay scale as was given on completion of 9 years of service. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. [Munishwar Nath Bhandari],J. Praveen
