ORDER

Date : 04.11.2025 Heard Mr. K. M. Haloi, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. D. P. Bora, learned standing counsel appearing for the Health & Family Welfare Department and Mr. P. Nayak, learned standing counsel appearing for the Finance Department/ Additional Advocate General, Assam.

It appears that though a proposal was placed before the cabinet for processing, the communication dated 21.09.2024 placed earlier before this court by Mr. D. P. Bora, learned standing counsel appearing for the Health & Family Welfare Department, indicates that the Director of Ayush has been requested to submit a recent report on the policies adopted to improve the functioning of Swahid Jadav Nath Homeopathic Medical College & Hospital (hereinafter referred to as SJNHMCH) particularly in the areas of academic and patient care services, and a proper review of this report is necessary before the pay scale enhancement for the facilities of SJNHMCH can be processed further.

Considering that the issue involved in the present list is the enhancement of pay scale of the petitioners/faculty members of SJNHMCH, let an up-to-date status as regards the time frame within which a decision as regards the policy which is pending before the cabinet can be taken.

Re-list the matter on 09.12.2025.
