UPON hearing the counsel the court made the following O R D E R

A Government Order dated 08.05.2023 has been produced before us which is taken on record.

The Government Order directs the Secretary, Basic Shiksha Parishad to ensure the payment of regular increment to all the petitioners whose special leave petitions are pending before this Court.

Ms. Aishwarya Bhati, learned Additional Solicitor General states that after issuance of this Government Order, the anomaly which existed earlier to the effect that some of the teachers were paid

11

annual increment and some were not paid will set at rest and such teachers whose petitions are pending here shall be entitled to the annual increment in terms of the interim order passed by this Court.

Since, the Government Order has already been issued, we have no reason to believe that the same shall not be implemented within a period of one month from today.
