The present writ petition has been filed by the Petitioner with the following prayers:- “The petitioner therefore prays that your lordships may graciously be pleased to direct the Opp. Parties to modify the grade pay to Rs. 5400/- instead of Rs.4800/- at the stage of 3rd financial upgradation w.e.f. 28.04.2014 in favour of the petitioner, as has been sanctioned in favour of the similar employee under Annexure-5 with all consequential benefits within a stipulated time by considering representation under Annexure-6. And pass such order/directions as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper. 4. Mr. M. Pati, learned counsel for the Petitioner contended that similar matter had come up for consideration before the Page 2 of 2. Tribunal in O.A. No.1506 of 2019 (Rabindranath Sahu v. State of Odisha and others), wherein such benefit has been extended to the Petitioner in the said original application under Annexure-5. It is contended that since the Petitioner stands in the same footing, the benefit should have been extended in favour of the Petitioner. 5. Considering the contention raised by learned counsel for the Petitioner and after going through the records, this writ petition stands disposed of directing Opposite Party No.3 to consider the representation under Annexure-6 of the Petitioner in the light of the order passed by the Tribunal in O.A. No.1506 of 2019 (Rabindranath Sahu v. State of Odisha and others) and taking into consideration Annexure-5, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of production of certified copy of this order. 6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application. ( A.K. Mohapatra ) Judge Debasis
