Jyotsna Rewal Dua, Judge

Notice. Mr. L.N. Sharma, learned Additional Advocate General, appears and waives service of notice on behalf of the respondents.

2. Petitioners’ grievance is that they have preferred representations on 30.10.2025 (Annexure P-4 in all the writ petitions), seeking equal pay for equal work against the post of Technical Assistant, to respondent No.2, however, the said representations have not been considered and decided till date. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners would be content in case respondent No.2/competent authority is directed to decide the aforesaid representations in accordance with law within a fixed time schedule. Learned Additional Advocate General is not averse to this prayer.

3. Having regard to the afore-submissions, but without examining the merits of the matters, these writ petitions are disposed of with direction to respondent No.2/ competent authority to consider and decide the aforesaid representations of the petitioners (Annexure P-4) in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from today. The decision so arrived at shall also be communicated to the petitioners.

The writ petitions stand disposed of in the above terms, so also the pending miscellaneous application(s), if any.
