SBCWP2693/1997 // 1 // IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2693/1997 {Birbal and Others Vs. The State of Rajasthan and Others} Date of Order ::: 04.02.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq None present for petitioners Shri Hari Bareth, Deputy Government Counsel for respondents #### By the Court:- This writ petition was filed by petitioners with prayer that respondents be directed to grant them appropriate selection grades in terms of Government Circular dated 25.01.1992. The respondents, in reply to writ petition, have come out with plea that all the petitioners are not working on the post of Shepherd. Petitioners No.3, 7, 8 and 9 are watchman or Class-V employees and remaining petitioners Nos.1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 10 are working on the post of Stock-Assistant, and accordingly they have been granted benefit of selection grade in terms of Government Circular dated 25.01.1992. SBCWP2693/1997 // 2 // The petitioners, along-with rejoinder to reply, have produced documents i.e. orders dated 16.11.1984 and 21.11.1984, to show that actually they have been working on the post of Shepherd. A perusal of said documents indicates that the petitioners actually worked on the post of Chowkidar but it was against the post of Shepherd. Even if there is any difference in the pay scale of posts of Shepherd and Chowkidar, such of the petitioners, who are working as Chowkidar, yet would be entitled to corresponding pay scale of the post on which they would have otherwise been promoted or if there was no avenue of promotion, in view of the Government Circular dated 25.01.1992. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of. The respondents, if they have already not granted selection grade to the petitioners, now will do so within a period of three months from today. A copy of this order be endorsed to petitioner No.1 for information. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. (Mohammad Rafiq) J. //Jaiman//
