JUDGEMENT

(2.) THIS petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by the petitioner for seeking followings relief (3)

(3.) LEARNED counsel appearing for Respondent No.1 filed counter affidavit and averred that petitioner's basic prior to granting Service Linked upgradation was Rs. 7,937/ - in the Grade - B. However, on account of aforesaid upgradation, the petitioner's basic pay was arrived at Rs. 7,982/ - in T&S Grade -A with effect from 1.1.2003 under the National Coal Wage Agreement -VI Pay Scale. The petitioner did not join immediately, so he was not entitled to get the increments as has been paid to him. Thus the two increments which have already been released in favour of the petitioner were rightly withheld and the mistake was corrected, when it was found that the petitioner was not entitled to the same.
