Das, learned counsel. Page No.# 7/7 2. By filing this writ petition, the petitioners who claim to be the Tutor Assistant Professors and Tutor Librarian in different colleges in the State of Assam, are praying for a direction to pay regular pay scale in terms of the decision of a Division Bench of this Court, in the case of Mohor Ali Sheikh & Ors. v. State of Assam & Ors., reported in 2024 (5) GLT 689. 3. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners, it is noticed that the petitioners have not approached the concerned authorities seeking similar relief in terms of the judgement in Mohor Ali Sheikh (Supra). 4. The learned counsel for the respondents submits that since the petitioners have not approached the respondent authorities, they may be directed to approach the respondent authorities. 5. Considering that the petitioners have failed to approach the respondent authorities, seeking similar benefits in terms of the judgment in Mohor Ali Sheikh (Supra), it would be appropriate to direct the petitioners to first approach the respondent authorities. Accordingly, the petitioners are at liberty to file representations before the respondent authorities for consideration of similar relief as provided in the case of Mohor Ali Sheikh (Supra). 6. On receipt of the representation(s) being filed by the petitioners, the respondent authority shall examine the matter and if the present petitioners are found to be similarly situated with the petitioners of Mohor Ali Sheikh (Supra), then similar benefit may be granted to the present petitioners also. The aforementioned exercise be carried out within a period of 3(three) months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order 7. Writ petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
