HON’BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE RAGHVENDRA SINGH CHAUHAN AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. RAJASHEKER REDDY WRIT APPEAL No. 396 of 2019 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Acting Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan)

The appellants are aggrieved by the order dated

29.03.2019, passed by the learned Single Judge in I.A.No.2 of 2018 in W.P.No.5115 of 2018, whereby the learned Single Judge has dismissed the application for vacating the order dated 22.02.2018, in I.A.No.1 of 2018, and made the said order an absolute one.

The learned Government Pleader for Services appearing for the appellants submits that the respondents had filed a writ petition seeking the benefit of the minimum timescale of pay attached to the posts of class IV employees, as they were engaged as cooks and watchmen on a daily wage basis. According to the learned Government Pleader, despite the fact that it was brought to the notice of the learned Single Judge that the petitioners happen to discharge their duties only for a few hours in a day, the learned Single Judge, relied upon the case of the State of Punjab and others vs. Jagjit Singh and others, [(2017) 1 SCC 148], and directed the appellants to pay the respondent-petitioner
