(1.) BOTH learned Counsel heard. The applicant has impugned the letter dated 15.11.2000 issued by the respondents by which they have rejected his claim for refixation of pay on re-employment which, according to the applicant, is arbitrary, mala fide, discriminatory and against the principles of natural justice.

Accordingly the aforesaid impugned order dated 15.11.2000 has been passed.
