U K NAIR Advocate for : GA ASSAM appearing for THE STATE OF ASSAM AND 6 ORS. Page No.# 35/36 BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUMAN SHYAM ORDER Date : 28-04-2025 Heard Mr. R. Sinha, learned counsel for the writ petitioners in this batch of writ petitions. Also heard Mr. B. Gogoi, learned Addl. AG, Assam appearing for the respondents. The petitioners in this batch of writ petitions were the employees of DRDA. After the DRDA had become defunct the petitioners were absorbed under the P&RD Department. The grievance of the petitioners is based on an apprehension that pursuant to their absorption in the P&RD Department their pay will get reduced. Mr. Sinha submits that during the pendency of this writ petition the Govt. of Assam had issued a notification dated 20-09-2018, protecting the pay of all the 477 number of DRDA employees including the writ petitioners and taking note of the notification dated 20-09-2018, several similar writ petitions have already been disposed of by this Court. In support of the above submission, Mr. Sinha has produced a copy of the order dated 20- 09-2022 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) No. 2661/2018, thus seeking a similar order from this Court. I have perused the same. Mr. Gogoi, learned Addl. AG, Assam, on examining all the documents on record has also fairly submitted that the petitioners’ case is covered under the notification dated 20- Page No.# 36/36 09-2018 inasmuch as the pay protection has already been granted to the petitioners. If that be so, nothing further survives for adjudication in this writ petition. Taking note of the submission made at the Bar, these writ petitions, therefore, stand disposed of by providing that the interest of the petitioners in this batch of writ petitions, insofar as their prayer for pay protection is concerned, shall stand covered by the notification dated 20-09-2018. Writ petitions stand closed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
