Involving identical issues for grant of Technical Pay Scale, its withdrawal and re-fixation of pay of the petitioner(s), all these writ petitions are being decided by a common order. 2. The petitioner(s) have approached this Court aggrieved of the orders passed by their respective authorities withdrawing the technical pay scale(s) granted to them and directing the re-fixation of pay in view of Section 4 of “The Haryana (Abolition of Distinction of Pay Scale Between Technical and Non-Technical Posts) Act, 2014”. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner(s) contend that the issue involved in the present case is covered by the judgment dated 25.03.2025 passed by a Division Bench of this Court in CWP-11710-2014 titled as ‘Sarbans Singh and others Vs. State of Haryana and others’ and other connected case(s). 4. Learned State counsel does not dispute the aforesaid factual position. 4. In view of the above, the impugned orders under challenge in these writ petitions withdrawing the technical pay scale(s) are set aside and the respondent(s)-authorities are directed to re-consider the claim of the petitioner(s) in accordance with law as well as in view of the judgment dated 25.03.2025 passed by Division Bench of this Court in Sarbans Singh and others (supra) expeditiously and preferably within a period of 03 months.
