P. Sam Koshy, J
1. Learned Counsel for the parties submits that the issue raised in this petition is squarely covered by the order dated 28.11.2017 passed by this Court
in WPS No.2530 of 2017 (Mukesh Kumar Patel and another Vs. State of Chhattisgarh and another) and batch of petitions, wherein allowing the
petitions, the circular dated 23.4.2016 has been quashed and it has been declared that the petitioners therein shall be entitled to obtain the benefit of
revised pay-scale on completion of 8 years service by including the services rendered by them on a lower post or on the same post.
2. In view of the aforesaid submission, since the impugned order or action is based on circular dated 23.4.2016 which stands quashed in the case
referred above, the present writ petition also deserves to be allowed with the direction that the petitioner shall also be entitled to obtain the benefit of
revised pay-scale on completion of 8 years service including the services rendered by him on a lower post or on the same post.
3. The writ petition thus stands finally disposed of.
