(2.) THE petitioner has filed this petition being aggrieved by order dated 20.03.2014 issued by the State Government whereby all the Chief Executive Officers of the Janpad Panchayat of the State have been prohibited from implementing the 5th and 6th Pay Commission recommendations in respect of the erstwhile employees of the M.P. State Cooperative Oil Seed Grover Federation on their own but to await the decision in this regard from the State Government in compliance of the directions issued by this court in various petitions.

(3.) HAVING heard the learned counsel for the petitioner it is observed and as fairly stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the Janpad Panchayats have no power to implement the 5th and 6th Pay Commission recommendations on their own and the decision in that regard has to be taken by the State Government.
