(Oral) 1. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner had made a representation, Annexure P5, wherein he has given the specific details of similarly circumstanced employees working in different circles who were granted stepping up of pay at par with their juniors, which was not available with him at the time of passing of impugned order, Annexure P6. He, on instructions, thus, prays that his case be considered and decided in light thereof, in a time bound manner. 2. Learned counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3 has no objection to the limited prayer made. 3. In view of the above and without commenting on the merits of the case, this petition is hereby disposed of with a direction to the respondents to decide the claim of the petitioner, expeditiously, in accordance with law, taking note of the aforesaid submission, uninfluenced by the order impugned herein, which this Court has no reason to believe the authorities would not address in a just, fair and reasonable manner. Upon doing so, after notice and hearing offered to him and if found entitled, grant the benefit forthwith. Needless to say, if the orders are adverse to the interest of the petitioner, the same shall contain reasons and he shall be free to seek legal redress thereupon.
