(ii) The petitioner in terms of the office order dated 23.7.2022 (Annexure- 4), which has been acted upon with respect to other similarly situated persons, prays upon the respondent authorities to pay the difference of salary on the post of Head Master from 24.5.2003 to 30.9.2008.

Mr. Rahul Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondent-Authorities though allowed the pay scale of Headmaster to this petitioner in terms of order dated 23.07.2022, but the said order has not yet acted upon. He further draws attention of this court towards Annexure-4 which is the order passed by the 4th respondent, who has taken a decision which has certainly redressed the grievance of the petitioner, but unfortunately the said annexure has not been given effect to, inasmuch as, no monetary benefit which was allowed to be paid, has been paid. He further submits that pursuant to several orders passed by this court, Annexure-4 was issued giving benefit to the Petitioner and several others and majority of them has been granted monetary benefit also but the Petitioner whose name finds at serial no.9 at Annexure-4, is deprived from the monetary benefit. 3. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that since no counter-affidavit has been filed; as such in view of Annexure 4 and 6 the case may be disposed of. 4. Having regard to the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and also after perusing Annexure-4 and 6, it appears that the only grievance of the Petitioner is to implement the said annexures by giving monetary benefit 2025:JHHC:13680 3 also. It goes without saying merely giving benefit on paper will not suffice and it is only the actual monetary benefit which is the fruits of the decision as indicated in annexure 4 and 6 which has been passed by the concerned respondent. 5. Accordingly, the instant writ petition is allowed. The concerned respondent shall ensure that entire monetary benefit shall be paid to the Petitioner within a period of 12 weeks form the date of receipt/production of copy of this order.
