      <abstract>
        <p>This article demonstrates the existence of fixed points for two pairs of self-maps in the context of a partially ordered b-metric space, using the C-class function. Furthermore, by the use of compatibility condition on maps, we have proved the uniqueness of fixed points. Our findings expand upon and provide a broader application for several established outcomes in the existing literature. </p>
