MEHJABIN, MR. R ISLAM,MR G U AHMED,MR N SARMA Advocate for the Respondent : SC, SEC. EDU., SC, FINANCE BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE NELSON SAILO O R D E R 23.02.2026 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the case of the petitioners is squarely covered by the judgment rendered by the Division Bench of this Court in Mohor Ali Sheikh –vs- State of Assam and others, reported in 2024 (5) GLT 689 and also subsequent orders passed by the Division Bench in WP(C) No.3239/2023 (as the lead case) vide common order dated 05.08.2025. 2. Mr. U. Sharma, learned Standing Counsel, Secondary Education Department submits that he may be given some time to obtain instructions in the matter. 3. However, considering the issue involved and the fact that this Court in similar cases such as WP(C) No.6507/2025 (Tapash Paul and others – vs- State of Assam and others) had disposed of the writ petition, in terms of the earlier decision of the Division Bench of this Court, it only appears that the matter can be disposed of in a similar manner. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Page No.# 8/8 respondent authorities to determine the pay scale payable to the petitioners in terms of the aforesaid referred judgments and in doing so, the respondent authorities would be at liberty to make verifications as may be required on the claim. 5. Such an exercise be done and completed as expeditiously and preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. 6. It is made clear that upon such verification, if it is found that the petitioners are entitled to the scale of pay as determined by the authorities, the same shall be given to them without further delay.
