It is not in dispute that the approval sent by Hon'ble the Chief Justice of this Court to the State Government to grant the similar benefit to the employees absorbed in the High Court, initially appointed in the M.P.State Administrative Tribunal, at par with the employees of the High Court was considered by the State Government.
It is also not in dispute that the matter was referred to the State Pay Commission and the said Commission has also approved the proposal made by Hon'ble the Chief Justice of this Court.
However, it is contended by learned Deputy Advocate General appearing in the case on behalf of respondent No.1 that the State Government is required to take a decision on the proposal so made and for the said purpose, at least two months' time would be needed.
Keeping in view the controveRs.involved and further keeping in view the fact that the matter is in respect of grant of similar pay scale to the employees who were absorbed in the year 2003, ten years back, as a final opportunity, two months' time is allowed to the respondent-State to pass appropriate orders and to intimate this Court about such a decision.
Let the petition be listed in the month of September 2013 for the said purpose.
A copy of this order be made available to the learned Dy.
Advocate General, appearing for the respondent No.1 for communicating the same to the authority concerned.
