“The case of the petitioners, in brief, is that the petitioners are the representatives of the All Nagaland PWD Field Workers’ Association who are the work-charged employees under NPWD, Kohima, Nagaland. The petitioners are before this Court seeking for a direction that some of the work-charged employees under the NPWD are entitled to time-bound scale of pay as per Rule 13 of the Nagaland Services (Revision of Pay) Rules, 1993 read with Rule 2(b), but the same has not been granted to them till date”, stated an order issued on Thursday by Justice Kakheto Sema.
