J GHOSH, MR. JUNM LASKAR Advocate for the Respondent : SC, ELEM. EDU, SC, FINANCE Page No.# 6/7 BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NELSON SAILO ORDER Date : 24.11.2025 Heard Mr. R. Mazumdar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. S. M. T. Chistie, learned Standing Counsel for the Secondary Education Department. [2.] By filing this writ petition, the petitioners have prayed for a direction to the respondent authorities to grant them the regular scale of pay as extended to similar other situated persons. It is the case of the petitioners that the Schools, where they were working, have already been provincialised and likewise their services have been provincialised as well. However, despite the same, their getting only a fixed pay as on today. In other words, the scale of pay has been denied to them. The learned counsel submits that in fact the case of the petitioners is squarely covered by the earlier decision of the Division Bench of this Court in Mohor Ali Sheikh & Ors. Vs. State of Assam & Ors., 2024 5 GLT 689 and also the subsequent order passed by the Division Bench in WP(C) No. 3239 of 2023 (as the lead case), vide Common Order dated 05.08.2025. [3.] Mr. S. M. T. Chistie, learned Standing Counsel, Secondary Education Department, submits that although the petitioners’ claim that the case is covered but they have also challenged Section 6(2) of the Assam Education (Provincialisation of Services of Non-Teaching Staff of Venture Educational Institutions) Act, 2018. [4.] In reply, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners do not press for the said prayer which is made in Paragraph Nos. (i) & (ii) of the prayer made in the writ petition. Page No.# 7/7 [5.] Considering the above submissions made and upon perusal of the materials available on record and more particularly the Order dated 05.08.2025 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in Abdul Motaleb & 147 Ors. Vs. State of Assam & Ors., (Annexure – 5), the writ petition is disposed of by directing the respondent authorities concerned to determine the pay scale that may be payable to the petitioners in terms of the directions already given in the referred case as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this Court’s Order. [6.] In doing so, the respondent authorities would be at liberty to make necessary verification as may be required. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
