(1.) THIS intra Court appeal has been filed by the Union of India and its officers against the judgment and order of the Hon'ble Single Judge dated 14th February, 2006 passed in Writ Petition No. 45275 of 2002.

(2.) BY means of the judgment and order under appeal, the Hon'ble Single Judge has been pleased to allow the writ petition as filed by the writ petitioner-respondent by providing that he is entitled to the revised pay scale of Rs. 6500-10,500/- with effect from 1st January, 1996. The appellant-respondents have further been directed to effect the revision accordingly within two months from the date of submission of a certified copy of the order. It is against this order of the Hon'ble Single Judge that the Union of India has approached this Court by means of the said intra Court appeal.

(3.) FACED with the aforesaid contentions learned Counsel for the writ petitioner, Sri R. K. Ojha, in reply, submits before us that in view of the rationalisation of the pre-revised pay scales, the Inspectors have been provided the scale of Rs. 2000-3200/ -. Such pay scale has necessarily to be paid to the writ petitioner also with effect from 1st January, 1996. On that basis it is claimed that in accordance with the provisions of 1997 Rules, the corresponding revised pay scale, i. e. , Rs. 6500-10500-becomes applicable to the post of Inspector in Central Reserve Police Force from 1. 1. 1996. Therefore, he submits that the judgment and order of the Hon'ble Single Judge is in accordance with law and does not suffer from any infirmity.
