Sri K.Vinaya Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, would submit that the subject matter of this writ petition is covered by an order of this Court in W.P.No.18017 of 1988, dated 04.09.1996, wherein this Court directed the Regional Manager to consider the question of pay anomalies as between the petitioners and their juniors de novo keeping in view the relevant regulations, if any, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment and if, on such consideration, the petitioners’ pay was required to be refixed so as to be on par with their juniors, the petitioners would be entitled to get arrears from the date on which they made representations. This Court further directed that the petitioners would not be entitled to get arrears prior to that date in view of the delay in re-presenting their case and in moving the Court only in 1988.
