Opposite Parties Represented by Adv.- Mr. J.K. Ray, ASC CORAM: JUSTICE DIXIT KRISHNA SHRIPAD ORDER 29.11.2025 The subject matter of these petitions is substantially similar to the case in State of Odisha & Ors. v. Saraswti Bhoi & Ors., 2022 (II) ILR- CUT-629. Counsel for the petitioners submits that in the said case a direction has been issued for considering the similar representation for the grant of Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- (rupees four thousand two hundred) with effect from 01.12.2014 or any respective date on completion of 20 years of Order No. 01. service in a single cadre towards the financial upgradation under RACP Scheme. Learned ASC Mr. Khandayatray appearing for the OPs very fairly agrees that the subject representations should meet their fate at the hands of OP No.1 in the light of observations in Saraswti Bhoi supra. With this proposal, learned ASC Mr. Khandayatray is agreeable, subject to the caveat that all contentions should be kept open and a reasonable period be prescribed for disposal of the subject representations. This is fair. In the above circumstances, petitions are disposed off. Time for consideration and to inform the petitioners in writing the result of such consideration, is eight (8) weeks. All contentions are kept open. It is open to solicit any information or document from the side of petitioners or from other officers, as are required for due consideration of the subject representations; however, in that guise delay shall not be brooked. Now, no costs. Web copy of order to be acted upon by all concerned. (Dixit Krishna Shripad) Judge Prasant Designation: Personal Assistant
