3. Respondents have filed their reply wherein by way of preliminary submission respondents have stated that pay scale of some of the Vaccinators, who were given special training regarding inoculation/immunization and perform the duties of immunization/vaccination which was being taken from inolucators alongwith the duty of birth and death registration were revised on the analogy of inoculators in compliance of the award dated 23.9.1988 passed by the Industrial Tribunal-I in ID No.253/83. Thus, according to the respondents the pay scale of all the Vaccinators was not revised but the pay scale of some of the Vaccinators was revised on the above basis, as they were given special training and were performing different duties. Thus, according to the respondents applicants are not entitled to re-fixation of pay on this ground alone.

6. Now let us consider the case of the applicants on merits. The respondents have categorically stated that the higher pay scale of Rs.425-640 is not being granted to all the Vaccinators. It has been categorically stated that such revised pay scale has been granted to only those Vaccinators who were given special training regarding inoculation/immunization and perform the duties of immunization/vaccination which was being taken from inolucators alongwith the duty of birth and death registration were revised on the analogy of inoculators in compliance of the award dated 23.9.1988 passed by the Industrial Tribunal-I in ID No.253/83. That apart, the respondents have categorically stated that the applicants and Vaccinators belong not only to different cadre but to the different departments of the respondents and are performing different duties and they cannot be compared with each other. This part of the averment has not been controverted by the applicants. Thus, it cannot be said that there is a wholesale parity/equivalence between the post held by the applicants and Vaccinators so as to grant the same pay scale.

9. Thus, in view of what has been stated above, we are of the view that the applicants have not made out any case for grant of relief. Even otherwise also, perusal of the order dated 31.05.2005 reveals that the pay scales of Vaccinators were revised to that of Rs.330-560 [item 1 (b)] and Rs.425-640 [item 2 (c)] and it is not a case that all the Vaccinators of MCD were given the revised pay scale of Rs.425-640. As already stated above, respondents have categorically stated that the pay scale of Rs.425-640 was being granted to those Vaccinators, who were given special training regarding inoculation/immunization and perform the duties of immunization/vaccination which was being taken from inolucators alongwith the duty of birth and death registration, whereas the remaining Vaccinators were being granted the pay scale of Rs.330-560 which was being granted to the category of applicants being ASI. Even on this ground, applicants are not entitled to any relief.
