JUDGMENT : Battu Devanand, J. This Writ Appeal is filed aggrieved by the order, dated 30.01.2026 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P.No.2597 of 2026. 2. Heard Mr K.R.Srinivas, learned counsel for the appellants and Mr Aravala Rama Rao, learned counsel for the respondents. Perused the material available on record. 3. For the sake of convenience, both the parties in this Writ Appeal are referred to as they are arrayed in the Writ Petition. 4. W.P.No.2597 of 2026 is filed seeking to issue a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents, particularly the 5 th respondent in issuing proceedings/office order No.E1/544(01)/2026-ZWS, dated 20.01.2026, revising and reducing the pay scales of the petitioners without issuing notice and without following due process of law, as illegal, arbitrary, violative of principles of natural justice and contrary to the Notification No.PD-13/2022, dated 20.10.2022 and consequently direct the respondents to allow the petitioners to draw the scale as fixed (Rs.37,640/-, 115500) i.e., earlier to impugned office order, dated 20.01.2026 and pass such other order or orders as this Court may deems fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. 5. The said Writ Petition was listed before the learned Single Judge of this Court on 30.01.2026 and the learned Single Judge directed to list the matter after four (4) weeks for filing counters by the respondents. Against the said order, the present Writ Appeal is filed. 6. Though there is sufficient force in the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the respondents should not reduce the pay of the petitioners without putting them on notice, but, without hearing the other side on that aspect and without knowing the stand of the respondents, this Court cannot decide the issue pending before it. Besides this, as and when monetary issues were involved, it is always appropriate to the Court to hear the contentions of the other side. As such, in our considered view, the learned Single Judge righty posted the matter for filing counters by the respondents for proper adjudication of the case. 7. In view of the same, we do not find any reason to interfere into the order, dated 30.01.2026 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P.No.2597 of 2026. 8. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. 9. There shall be no order as to costs. 10. 7. In view of the same, we do not find any reason to interfere into the order, dated 30.01.2026 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P.No.2597 of 2026. 8. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. 9. There shall be no order as to costs. 10. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
