Nagarajan .C v. The State of Tamil Nadu

ORDER The present writ petition has been filed seeking to direct the respondents to revise the pay scale of the post of Assistant Water Analyst in consonance with R.No.82558/E1/S4/2020, dated 30.11.2020 by considering his representation, dated 24.07.2023.

¶2The petitioner has contended that the scale of pay for the Assistant Water Analyst is Rs.15600 – 39100/- (PB3) + Grade Pay Rs. 5400. In view of the fact that the panel was drawn belatedly, he could not draw the monetary benefits. Though the prayer is for a positive Mandamus to revise the scale of pay, on instructions, the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner submits that it would be suffice to direct the respondents to consider his representation.

¶3In view of the above said facts, the 3rd respondent is directed to consider the representation of the writ petitioner, dated 24.07.2023 and if he finds that the petitioner is eligible for the revised scale of pay, he shall forward the same to the 1st respondent. The said exercise shall be completed by the 3rd respondent within a periof of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.

¶4With the above said observations, this Writ Petition stands disposed of to the extent as stated above. No costs.
