IRFAN AHMED Vs. STATE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) INSTANT petition has been filed jointly by Eleven petitioners with the grievance that on being absorbed as Gram Sevak cum Sachiv vide orders dt.28/04/2000, 15/01/2001, 10/04/2000 & 13/03/2000 (Ann.1 to 5), they were placed on probation for two years on a consolidated salary of Rs.1200/- & despite expiry of period of probation, they have not been fixed in regular pay scale of the post and are still continued to be on fixed/consolidated salary.

(2.) HOWEVER, order has been passed by Department of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur on 13/08/2008 (Ann.8) giving regular pay scale of Gram Sevak who are appointed on fixed pay.

(3.) HOWEVER, it is an admitted case that decision has been taken by the State Government at a later stage vide Circular dt. 13/08/2008 for grant of regular pay scale to such employees like petitioners. But question certainly arises that once incumbent having completed probation period of two years, can still they be denied of regular pay scale of the post held by them or they are to be continued on fixed remuneration.
