In response to the show cause notice issued by this court, an affidavit was filed by the respondents that directions issued by this court have been complied with as the petitioners were granted the pay scales of Rs. 510- 800 with effect from 1.1.1978 with further grade of Rs. 1200-2130(revised with effect from 1.1.1986) which was further revised to the pay scale of Rs.4020-6200 with effect from 1.1.1996. However, according to the petitioners, they have not been en- cadred in the cadre of clerks as their pay is not being fixed in that cadre on the subsequent revision of pay scale. Be that as it may, in view of the fact that in compliance of the order dated 9.3.2005, the respondents had granted the pay scale of Rs. 510-800 with effect from 1.1.1978 along with arrears to the petitioners. I am not inclined to proceed further with this contempt petition. Rule discharged. However, the petitioners shall be at liberty to seek any other appropriate remedy for redressal of their grievance in accordance with law. September 9, 2009 (RAKESH KUMAR GARG) nk JUDGE
