Shri Shanker Raju

MA 866/2010

MA seeking joining together in a single petition is allowed.

OA 1165/2010

This OA relates to Stenographers Grade ‘C’/Court Masters, who are working in the
Central Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, seeking benefits of re-fixation of pay in
the scale of Rs.6500-10500 at par with their counterparts in CSS/CSSS w.e.f. 15.9.2006
and re-calculation of arrears thereof. It is also prayed that the applicants are entitled to
the grade pay of Rs.4600/- w.e.f. 1.1.2006 with arrears at par with their counterparts in
CSS/CSSS.
2. We find that historical parity of Central Administrative Tribunal staff in respect of
Private Secretaries has already been laid at rest on implementation of our directions by
the respondents in S. R. Dheer & others v. Union of India & others (OA-164/2009) decided
on 19.2.2009, which, in all fours, covers the issue raised by the applicants in the present
OA.

3. At this stage, we find that the claim of the applicants instead of being turned down
by the Department of Personnel & Training has been kept in abeyance by an order dated
15.5.2007 on the basis of the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC).

4. In these circumstances, we dispose of this OA with a direction to the respondents

to treat the present OA as a representation on behalf of the applicants and decide the
reliefs prayed for in this OA in the background of historical parity of Central
Administrative Tribunal staff with their counterparts in CSS/CSSS, by passing a reasoned
and speaking order within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of
this order.

Let a copy of the OA be issued to the respondents along with this order.
