The petitioner in this writ application, has prayed for a direction upon the<br \/>\n     respondents for re-fixation of his pension after giving him the benefits of two time bound<br \/>\n     promotions.\n<\/p>\n<p>                   Petitioner has claimed that since the date of his initial appointment as a Matric<br \/>\n     Trained Teacher in the year 1959, he had worked continuously for 38 years 2 months and 27<br \/>\n     days as an Assistant Teacher in the Primary School, but throughout the entire period of his<br \/>\n     service and till the date of his retirement on 28.2.1998, he was never given either the first or<br \/>\n     second time bound promotion and thereby, he was made to suffer loss of monetary benefits of<br \/>\n     such promotions and his pension has been fixed on the basis of the last pay drawn by him which,<br \/>\n     according to him, should have been much higher than what was paid.\n<\/p>\n<p>     3.            A counter-affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>     4.            Counsel for the petitioner would explain that the petitioner was not given the<br \/>\n     benefit of time bound promotions to which he was entitled to upon completing 12 years of<br \/>\n     service and subsequently upon completing 25 years of service. Instead, he was given Senior<br \/>\n     Selection Grade after 28 years of service on 28.4.1988 with effect from 1.4.1981 in the scale of<br \/>\n     Rs. 730-15-820-20-980-D.A. A.20-1080. On the above scale, he has retired and the last salary<br \/>\n     drawn by him was Rs. 6,800\/- per month. On the basis of this salary, his pension was fixed at Rs.<br \/>\n     3,400\/-.\n<\/p>\n<p>     5.     The further contention of the petitioner is that the other similarly situated teachers,<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>namely, Ganesh Khandit and Guruwa Munda being similarly aggrieved, had filed writ<br \/>\napplications individually and pursuant to the orders of this court passed in the writ applications,<br \/>\nthe respondents had not only extended the monetary benefits to them, but had also fixed their<br \/>\npension after giving them the benefits of two time bound promotions.\n<\/p>\n<p>       The petitioner, demanding similar benefits as extended to the other teachers, had filed<br \/>\nrepresentation before the concerned authorities repeatedly, the last being on 9.8.2006, but his<br \/>\ndemands were not not fulfilled and therefore, the present writ application.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.     Though in the first counter affidavit the stand taken by the Respondents was of total<br \/>\ndenial of the petitioner&#8217;s claim, but in the supplementary counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the<br \/>\nrespondents, it is now informed that the entire matter was re-examined thoroughly and it has<br \/>\nnow been decided that the petitioner is entitled for Junior Selection Grade Pay Scale of Rs.<br \/>\n680-965 with effect from 1.4.1981 and to the Senior Selection Grade Pay Scale of 730-1080<br \/>\nwith effect from 1.4.1984 notionally, similar to that of the other teacher namely, Guruwa Munda.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.     It is explained that after sanctioning the Junior Selection Grade Pay Scale with effect<br \/>\nfrom 1.4.1981 and Senior Selection Grade Pay Scale with effect from 1.4.1984, the difference of<br \/>\npay scale of the petitioner vis-a-vis Guruwa Munda, has been protected considering the fact that<br \/>\nwhereas the petitioner was appointed in the Matric Trained Pay Scale on 1.12.1959, the other<br \/>\nteacher namely, Guruwa Munda was appointed on Matric Untrained Pay Scale on 3.3.1962.<br \/>\nRespondents have explained that the necessary corrections in the light of the above decision of<br \/>\nthe respondent authority, needs to be made in the service book of the petitioner after adjustment<br \/>\nand proper instruction would be forwarded to the office of the Accountant General, Jharkhand<br \/>\nfor appropriate action. On the basis of the above statement, learned counsel for the respondents<br \/>\nclaims that the petitioner&#8217;s grievance has been fully redressed and this writ application has<br \/>\nbecome infructuous.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.     Learned counsel for the petitioner would however not feel satisfied by the purported<br \/>\nconcession made by the respondents. Objection of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that<br \/>\nthe grant of Senior Selection Grade pay scale to the petitioner with effect from 1.4.1984, cannot<br \/>\nbe deemed to be an act of generosity. Rather, the petitioner was legally entitled to the Senior<br \/>\nSelection Grade Pay Scale with effect from 1.4.1984 and the revised scale along with the annual<br \/>\nincrements in the salary, ought to have been given to him, which has been denied to the<br \/>\npetitioner by declaring that the Senior Selection Grade Pay Scale of Rs. 730-1080 though made<br \/>\neffective from 1.4.1984, would be considered only as notional.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.     From the rival submissions, it would appear that the respondents have conceded that the<br \/>\npetitioner was entitled to the grant of Junior Selection Grade and upon granting such benefit,<br \/>\nthey had fixed his applicable pay scale of Rs. 680-965 with effect from 1.4.1981. Since the<br \/>\nrespondents do acknowledge that the petitioner was entitled to the Senior Selection Grade pay<br \/>\nscale with effect from 1.4.1984, then there is no reason as to why he should be deprived of the<br \/>\ncorresponding monetary benefit on such scale together with the annual increments which should<br \/>\nhave been paid to him from the date when Senior Selection Grade Pay Scale was made<br \/>\napplicable to him.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>10.    Even as per the Chart (Annexure-H) to the counter-affidavit of the respondents, it<br \/>\nappears that on 1.4.1981, the scale of pay of the petitioner and Guruwa Munda was equated on<br \/>\nthe same pay scales. Likewise, the Senior Selection Grade was granted to both of them from<br \/>\n1.4.1984 on equal pay scales. If the Rules relating to grant of Junior Selection Grade is to be<br \/>\napplied after 10 years of service in the Matric Trained Pay Scales, the petitioner could have<br \/>\nclaimed his entitlement in the year 1969 after having completed 10 years of service since the<br \/>\ndate of his initial appointment. Such eligibility to the other co-employee namely, Guruwa Munda<br \/>\ncould have accrued sometime in the year 1972 by computing 10 years of service from the date of<br \/>\nhis initial appointment in the year 1962. Likewise, the petitioner and Guruwa Munda would have<br \/>\nbecome entitled for the grant of Senior Selection Grade Pay Scales after completing 20 years of<br \/>\nservice, on a gap of three years from each other. If the respondents contend that the benefit of<br \/>\nSenior Selection Grade Pay Scale though granted with effect from 1.4.1984 to the petitioner, but<br \/>\nthe actual pay of such scale was given to him even from 1.4.1981 and the petitioner had drawn<br \/>\nhis salary on the basis of the Senior Selection Grade Pay Scale from 1.4.1981, then the petitioner<br \/>\nmay not have any grievance. But if even as suggested by the respondents, the petitioner was<br \/>\ngranted Junior Selection Grade on 1.4.1981 and his salary was given to him on the basis of the<br \/>\nScale applicable for the Junior Selection Grade and the petitioner had drawn his salary on the<br \/>\nsame scale from 1.4.1981, then the respondents cannot deny the payment of the monetary<br \/>\nbenefits to the petitioner by treating the grant of Senior Selection Grade to the petitioner from<br \/>\n1.4.1984 notionally denying him the benefit of such scale from the effective date.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.    Respondents have not informed as to why, even after acknowledging the fact that the<br \/>\npetitioner was entitled for the Senior Selection Grade Pay Scale with effect from 1.4.1984, the<br \/>\nsame should be treated as notionally and the monetary benefit cannot be given to him, while<br \/>\ncomputing the amount of leave encashment, gratuity and final pension.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.    In the light of the above discussions, I direct the respondents to extend the monetary<br \/>\nbenefits of Senior Selection Grade Pay Scale which was granted to the petitioner from 1.4.1984<br \/>\nand on such basis, to assess the amount of gratuity, leave encashment and other retiral benefits,<br \/>\nand fix his final pension on the basis of the salary which he would have legitimately drawn as on<br \/>\nthe date of his retirement. This exercise must be initiated and concluded within a period of four<br \/>\nmonths from the date of receipt \/ production of a copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.    With these observations, this writ application is disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Let a copy of this order be given to the learned counsel for the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                          (D.G.R.
