01.
1. Heard learned counsel for both the Parties.
2. Being aggrieved by the inaction of the Authority in granting the MACPs, and subsequently, the scheme which has been turned as RACP, the Petitioner knocks the doors of this Court.
3. It is the case of the Petitioner that initially he joined the services under the District Welfare Officer as an “Attendant” with effect from 29.07.1994. In course of his service, the Petitioner acquired the requisite qualification for being absorbed in the post of “Assistant Teacher” and, accordingly, vide
Order
No.3963/DWO dated 24.11.2010, the Petitioner got absorbed in the Post of Matric C.T. Teacher in the Scale of Pay ₹5200-20200/- with Grade Pay ₹2200/- with usual DA and Allowances as sanctioned by the Government of Orissa from time to time from the date of the actual joining subject to the conditions enumerated in the order.
4. It is the claim of the Petitioner that he is entitled to the MACP and the 1st RACP in accordance with the Resolution of the Finance Department dated 06.02.2013. However, he having completed more than 20 years, has not been favoured with the aforesaid entitlement. It is also submitted that in connection with the matter, the Petitioner has moved the Collector, Mayurbhanj, by way of representation on 07.02.2026 and further submits that a direction for consideration of his representation would serve the purpose in this Application.
5. Keeping in view the aforesaid submission and the innocuous prayer of the Petitioner and the fact that the Petitioner has been in employment under the Government is entitled to the benefit extended as enumerated in the Resolution of the Finance Department subject to his qualification mentioned therein, this Court finds it appropriate to dispose of the application at the stage of admission.
6. Without any objection from the side of Mr. Parhi, learned Additional Standing Counsel (ASC), while disposing the Writ Petition at the stage of admission, therefore, it is directed that the Opposite Party No.3, i.e., the Collector, Mayurbhanj, shall do well in considering the representation of the Petitioner in the light of the Policy Resolution of the Finance Department within a period
of four (04) weeks and to communicate the result thereof within two (02) weeks thereafter.
