M DUTTA, MS N CHATTERJEE Advocate for the Respondent : SC, SEC. EDU., SC, FINANCE BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NELSON SAILO ORDER Date : 24-09-2025 Heard Mr. M Dutta, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. U Sharma, learned Standing Counsel, Secondary Education Department appearing for respondent Nos. 1 & 3 as well as Ms. RM Barooah, learned Standing Counsel, Finance Department appearing for respondent No. 2. [2.] Having regard to the nature of the grievance projected by the petitioners, Page No.# 21/22 the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the motion stage itself, as agreed to by the learned counsels for the parties. [3.] The case of the petitioners is that they are working as Senior Assistants, Junior Assistants, Library Assistants, Library Bearers and Grade-IV employees under different provincialised High Schools, Higher Secondary Schools and Senior Secondary Schools and they come under the administrative control of the Director of Secondary Education, Assam (respondent No. 3). The grievance expressed is that although their services have been provincialised, they are only given fixed pay, whereas they should be given scale pay in terms of the decision rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in Mohar Ali Sheikh & Ors. Vs. State of Assam & Ors., reported in 2024 5 GLT 689, which was again relied upon by another Division Bench in WP(C) 3239/2023, which was disposed of on 05.08.2025 (Abdul Motaleb & 147 Ors. Vs. State of Assam & 6 Ors.). [4.] The learned counsel submits that the petitioners in Mohar Ali Sheikh (supra) were Tutors, whereas in Abdul Motaleb (supra), the petitioners were non-teaching staffs. The present petitioners are Senior Assistants, Junior Assistants, Library Assistants, Library Bearers and Grade-IV employees and should be covered by the orders passed by the Division Bench in the earlier 2 (two) cases. But, since they had not approached this Court, the petitioners have been informed that their cases will not be considered. [5.] The learned counsel submits that similarly situated persons had approached this Court by filing WP(C) 5232/2025 (Krishna Baishya & Ors. Vs. State of Assam & Ors.), which was disposed of on 08.09.2025 by directing the petitioners to submit their respective representations before the Director of Elementary Education with a further direction that if the case of the petitioners are covered by the earlier judgments of this Court passed by the Division Bench, Page No.# 22/22 similar benefits should be extended to them. The learned counsel submits that a similar order in the instant case may be passed. [6.] Considering the above submissions, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to file their respective representations before the Director of Secondary Education within a period of 10 (ten) days with a claim for payment of scale of pay in terms of the earlier judgments rendered by the Division Bench. The Director of Secondary Education, upon receipt of such representations, shall consider the same and if it is found that the petitioners are indeed covered by the said judgments, similar benefits should be extended to them.
