2. Heard Mr. M.Krishna Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for respondents.
3. The grievance of the petitioner is that, respondent no.1 has issued a memo on 30.5.2023, without considering the case of the petitioner in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 03.4.2012. The petitioner initially worked in military service from 24.02.1998 to 31.3.2014 i.e. for more than 16 years and subsequently he was recruited in the State Civil Services under Ex- servicemen quota with effect from 05.5.2018. Accordingly his pay scale was fixed at Rs.16,400/-. The request of the petitioner is that, the petitioner is entitled for revised pay scales as per the protection granted in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 03.4.2012. Though the petitioner has made a representation/claim, the same has been rejected by respondent no.1 on 30.5.2023 without considering the representation in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95. Hence the Writ Petition.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has relied on the orders passed by this Court in identical matters wherein the Court has considered the request of the petitioner and disposed of the matter directing the respondents to examine the claim of the petitioner for pay protection and pay fixation in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 03.4.2012 within a period of eight (08) weeks.
5. Learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the respondents submitted that the Court may pass appropriate orders.
6. Considering the said submissions and a perusal of the orders of this Court, the matter is remanded to respondent no.1 directing to consider the claim of the petitioner in terms of G.O.Ms.No.95 dated 03.4.2012 and pass appropriate orders. The said exercise shall be completed within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order.
7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
As a sequel thereto, interlocutory applications pending, if any, in the writ petition, shall also stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH 04.02.2026 RD
