SNCU (Sick new born care unit) iv. NBSU (New born stabilization unit) The allowance for Difficult Areas and Functionally Difficult Assignment shall be in addition to any other allowance they draw.” 3. My attention is drawn to the order dated 26.10.2022 made in W.P.No.26630 of 2022 ( Dr.A.Saravanakumar Vs. CEMONC Centres iii. SNCU (Sick new born care unit) iv. NBSU (New born stabilization unit) The allowance for Difficult Areas and Functionally Difficult Assignment shall be in addition to any other allowance they draw.” 3. My attention is drawn to the order dated 26.10.2022 made in W.P.No.26630 of 2022 ( Dr.A.Saravanakumar Vs. The Principal Secretary to Government and Others). The said writ petition was filed for an identical prayer. This Court directed the Government to pass final order on merits and in accordance with law on the writ petitioner's representation dated 15.09.2022 seeking monetary benefits as per the aforesaid government order. Pursuant to the said direction, the Government issued order implementing the said government order in favour the said Dr.A.Saravanakumar. The petitioners are identically placed. 4.In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, some reasons have been assigned for not implementing the government order in the case of the petitioners herein. It is stated that there are quite a few service associations and that some of them have taken the stand that all the service grievances of the doctors must be addressed at one go and that there cannot be piece-meal acceptance of their demands. This reason in my view is not acceptable. Implementing the government order in favour of doctors is something beneficial. The doctors can accept the same and continue to agitate for acceptance of their remaining demands. That apart, after conceding the request of Dr.A.Saravanakumar, it is not open to the respondents to defer implementing the government order in the case of the writ petitioners. I, therefore, direct the respondents to sanction and release the writ petitioners' salary, allowances and other attendant benefits in terms of G.O.(Ms)No. 293, Health and Family Welfare Department dated 18.06.2020. The implementation shall be made with effect from the date of government order. While their salary and allowances shall be revised from the month of August, 2023, the arrears shall be paid within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” 5. The aforesaid order is self-explanatory. It is the claim of the petitioners herein that they are all similarly placed persons as that of the petitioners in W.P.(MD).Nos.8392 and 14397 of 2023. If that be so, they would also be entitled to a similar relief. 6. The aforesaid order is self-explanatory. It is the claim of the petitioners herein that they are all similarly placed persons as that of the petitioners in W.P.(MD).Nos.8392 and 14397 of 2023. If that be so, they would also be entitled to a similar relief. 6. Hence, there shall be a direction to the 4 th respondent to sanction and release the salary, allowances and other attendant benefits in terms of G.O(M.S)No.293, Health and Family Welfare Department dated 18.06.2021. Such order shall be passed atleast within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed. No costs.
