06/12/2019 It is an undisputed position that issues raised in the petitions are covered by a decision of learned Single Judge of this Court dated 26.04.2017 in case of Sri Monorajan Naha Versus State of Tripura and others in writ petition No.255 of 2014 and connected petition.

Learned Government Advocate pointed out that the said decision of this Court in case of Sri Monorajan Naha Versus State of Tripura and others was challenged before the Division Bench in Writ Appeal No.44 of 2017 and connected appeal which was decided on 05.03.2019 directing the Government to reconsider the issue. Thereupon the Government has passed a fresh order dated 23.09.2019 reiterating its original stand and has come to a conclusion that the petitioners therein are not entitled to the higher pay scale as compared to the Pharmacist (non-diploma). In other words, the State Government is not agreeable to accept the decision of the learned Single Judge.
