pay fixation w.e.f 01.01.2007 as per Circular No.WRC/1/1/2007/Vol.III,

dated 18.09.2009 (Annexure P-2).

It is contended that despite of the completion of all the

formalities, the petitioner has not been granted the benefit of revised pay

scales till date. The petitioner vide representation (Annexure P-3)

requested the respondents for finalization of his case regarding the grant of

benefits on account of revision of pay scales. Respondent no.3 vide letter

dated 18.11.2010 (Annexure P-5) intimated the petitioner that his case for

direction to respondents No.2 and 3 to decide the case of the petitioner for

grant of terminal benefits and other retiral benefits on account of revision of

pay scale forthwith, preferably within one month from the receipt of a copy

of this order.
